And above my comment I see that Carolyn had the same reaction! I was at the Whaling Museum with Rita, and we could hardly tear ourselves away from those exquisite embroideries. And now Rita has done one of her own so spectacularly! I love the Marcus Aurelius quotation! I could rave on but I must stop!

I am so happy to be a part of this group. I feel as tho I have known my mavens forever. Rita, you have definitely hit all the high points with your piece and woven it all together in a stunner!
