overcome your fear of needles
a video poet husband – a seamstress wife
a collaboration
It had started off simply enough – a plain bit of fabric and some pretty floss.
A camera was added into the mix.
Together, they recorded life as it happened.
Finishing touches, more ideas, even more tweaks, and finally it was done.
Two pieces of art – a pendant and a poem.

I like to sew. I have 5 kids. I like to sew. I am married to a poet. Have I mentioned I like sewing?
This blog is about my reckless pursuit of sewing knowledge.
Beautiful! Both the pendant and the poem!
So special!
What a beautiful collaboration! Fantastic work…both of you
That was really neat. =) I loved seeing the embroidery grow and fill in, and the poem was great too.
THAT WAS FLIPPIN’ AMAZING!!!!! Wow. Just… wow
So beautiful and touching!
I had to watch this three times. It made me cry.
Thank you. What a sweet compliment.
OMG Jodi, I simply adore this. I’m going to share it on my blog this week, if it’s okay with you? I came by to check out how you made the embroidered pendant – I’m thinking of doing my next embroidery class with a pendant tutorial. I remembered how beautiful your pendant is! This video makes it so much sweeter. <3!!!
