I got a lovely message from her yesterday, so now I can share it with all of you.
I did some more small landscapes yesterday and they looked like crap. I've already hidden them away so I don't feel like wretching when I look at them. (But I didn't actually throw them out. There may be some redemption for them eventually.)
Today I did some small pieces using the frayed hems of some old jeans. They turned out much better. One will make it's way to Houston for Fiber Art for a Cause.
As we all know, some days are more inspired than others.

Love it! And I highly doubt your other landscapes looked like "crap".
Rockstar tonight--I love Slambo's reviews; if I miss anything, I read her blog and get caught up!
Your landscape is wonderful! What I especially love about your art is how you can convey so-o-o much in such a simplified look. It is great---keep it up.
Thank you Thank you Lisa!! I never get any comments so I don't know if anyone but me and my mom read my stuff!! Thank you!
Deborah, this is charming. You really do have a great eye for clean but evocative design. And your stitching compliments it perfectly. What a wonderful gift for your friend!
I really just love this palette of colours on this one!
This is a great little piece.
you're right, some days are more inspiring than others...this piece, in all it's simplicity is beautiful!
I Love the simplified look at your work
Please post some of your "crap", too! ;) It'd be interesting to say, "OK, I was trying for this, but it turned out like this! Egad!" We're all in a learning process, and unlike in life in playing with fiber we may actually be able to learn from each other's mistakes. (My mistake this week was to make a baby sling too wide--I thought more fabric would be cozier--but it's only bulkier...)
