Needlework

“I have always been a craft person,” notes Virginia Lee. She has worked for many years creating pictures, baskets, Raggedy Ann dolls, and various forms of needlework. It is this needlework that is especially showcased now.

From craft books, Virginia orders kits, which have designs stamped onto cotton and polyester items such as tablecloths, pillows, and pillow cases. In several weeks to sometimes months, Virginia completes the kit using her needlework skills – cross stitching, embroidering, and others. The final product is an attractive piece of adorned linen.

Seeing her finished product is the reward for the hard work and time that are put into each project.

Her work is only available to the public at Black Belt Treasures or from the artist herself.
