Flying Squirrel in the Goldberg house



Embroidery, piecing, pillow.  12" square.  Completed Mar 23, 2019 
for Steve Goldberg and Ann Ball, New Jersey 


Steve and Ann are long time friends (Neil and Steve have known each other since they were 3 years old!).   They moved into a new home last year and I created this as a housewarming gift.   

On one side of the pillow, I printed an image of their home, drawn by Ann.  Then I embroidered details, adding plants and home details.  The house is surrounded by 4-patch posy blocks, created with the floral print you can see on the back. 




The other side of the pillow has an embroidered flying squirrel, because Steve and Ann tell a very funny story about the night they found a flying squirrel IN the house. 


Here are some close-ups of the embroidery: 


We wish you many happy healthy years in your new home.  We love you. 


Peace, 
Paula
