My husband gave me a yarn bombing book by London Kaye for my birthday last year. The next day I saw a call for yarn creations for Adkins Arboretum’s Yarnstorming 2023. I raised my hand and picked a tree. I starting crocheting in January and installed with snow coming down yesterday. 44 granny squares. 1 double crochet block. 13 letters. 3 butterflies. 12 flowers. 14 leaves. 2 vines. Many stitches holding it all together. Excited to see the other trees on display March 5-April 2 at Adkins Arboretum. The grounds and trails are beautiful—you should definitely stop by! Yarnstorming reception March 12, 2:00-4:00 pm.
Love Blooms Here
I’m excited to share that my piece, “Love Blooms Here,” now graces a traffic box in Riverdale Park. The basis for this piece is hand-stitched felt rectangles. I arranged the pieces, photographed them, and tranferred them to a digital file. The finished rendering was selected for display on a traffic box at 4801 Madison Street, Riverdale Park.
Thank you to the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation and Town of Riverdale Park, in collaboration with Verizon and the Maryland State Highway (SHA), for making this opportunity available. Learn more and see the list of other newly installed traffic boxes.
