Phase 3

Venerable Friends with Chrysanthemum

Venerable Friends represents the way that we observe the knowledge and experience of our predecessors and associates through their books.  Also, our favorite books, those that we read and reread, those that shape our personalities and outlook on life, come to be dear old friends.

This phase emphasizes stitching the designs on top of an embroidered foundation. This is a special set of techniques generally not found in other types of embroidery.
