When You Open Your Heart to Another

Stitcher: Ellen Emanuel, Pennsylvania
Designer: Ellen Emanuel
Location: Hanging in the stitcher's studio where it brightens her spirits many a day.
Description: Ellen belongs to a design group and their current working theme was entrances. Her original idea was based on an actual door, using canvas stitches to illustrate a Frank Lloyd Wright stained glass design. During the time she was planning the piece, Ellen's pet dog passed away, which led to her to the idea of the entrance to one's heart. The heart remains incomplete, because she was not quite ready to give all to the new.....

When You Open Your Heart to Another took a few months to stitch, with time and much patience given to Ellen's new puppy.
