The Exemplary 2025
The Dolores Andrew Award

I love the world of Zenspirations with its vibrant colors, unique designs, and whimsical elements. Over the years, I’ve created several Christmas cards and realized that a similar concept would make a fantastic needlepoint piece, particularly for the holiday season. I decided to focus on hanging ornaments and incorporate some dangles for added interest. Since I designed this piece with teaching in mind, I concentrated on ten ornaments and surrounded them with plenty of hanging dangles. Additionally, I managed to include a word and my name within the dangles without making them too noticeable.
