I wanted to take a minute and share a couple of pictures with you. They measure 24 x 36" and were done by an 80 year old friend of mine. All of the picture is done with very small pieces of fabric and I think they are just great. I met Ms. Faye when I was with the Fabric Department. Most of the fabric used was real inexpensive fabric.
The pictures are not real good because I took them with my phone. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do

Exquisite! What lovely pictures she does. Much more delicate than anyone I know could do. Hope that she still owns a lot of them and can put them in a show. That might be her crowning moment!

I am interested in her process. Did she Bond the pieces to a backing, or did she sew them down some way. They are very good.
