Fabulous Friday Find

Have I mentioned I love the textile arts?  How do I love the textile arts?  Why do I love them?  Let me count the ways (some other day).

Today, I found a link to the work of this creative soul.  I could spend hours on his site. 

Here's one of his stitched portraits.  As he writes:

Stitched Portraits: Kasturba Gandhi

Unsung heroine, wife to a man of peace, a woman of peace herself who taught Mahatma the ways of non-violent protest. She gave up a life of wealth for poverty and died while interred in a prison.

For her sacrifice and solace, she was the necessary choice for yesterday's birthday portrait.
She would have been 143.
