A very thoughtful reader named Bev Forsling sent me the link to this UTube video this morning about oya...It also has tons of pictures of other forms of Turkish needlework--it's like a long, quickly moving slideshow, set to joyous Turkish music. There are a few pictures of some lovely women wearing some of the scarves, too. I was enthralled by this, the patterns and artistry and sheer exuberance of the talent involved in creating this gorgeous needlework. Have a look!!!

Your work is absoltely brilliant. I was alerted to your site by a quilter in Sweden. You must live in CA, due to the poppies. I grew up in norther Ca. Photos of your home and property were so peaceful and entered my soul, truly.
