I'm thinking it's safe to post this now that Christmas presents have probably been opened in Virginia. Heather has long given me kitchen towels, which I love because I think of her every time I use them. So I decided it was high time to return the favor.
My latest in the Kitchen Towel Series traces the roads-as-the-crow-flies from St Louis (note the arch), Austin (lone star), and Williamsburg (Virginia is for lovers) to the Outer Banks of North Carolina ...
It was worked on the same green tablecloth linen that I have used before,
backed with two layers of harem cloth, stitched and quilted with floss ...
And the lines are actual latitudes and longitudes (2 degrees per line),
the state lines drawn in by hand (with wonderful inaccuracy) ...
"As the crow flies" was written with you in mind

Heather's husband wanted to frame it, but she knew I absolutely want her to use it ... to have it touch her life as she touches mine
