my mom is the shizz, part two

Anne (who is also the shizz) sent me pics of my mom's Sweepstakes winning embroidery when she was at the MN State Fair last weekend. Here's one with the ribbons:

And here's a close-up:

Gorgeous, innit? I remember her working on various parts of this. Even this shot doesn't quite capture the intricacy of the stitches. See, this is why mom needs a blog.

Wow - those are really beautiful. Go Mom!!

I'm afraid I must insist upon a detail shot. Just incredible!

I wish I could've gotten a detail shot, or one without glare, but that's the trouble with relying on photos through glass. Surely, with her own blog, your mom could provide more awesomeness.

Wow! I'd love to see an extreme closeup too. Still, it looks pretty amazing.

Wow, these are much better than the ones I took, but nothing can take the place of seeing the real thing up close. I'm so glad you are sharing her work for all to see!
