Surprise!

I found out this morning via email that my Afghanistan piece was selected to be exhibited at Pfarrhaus, in the city of Hasenweiler, Germany.

 Farida's Garden, 15" x 10"
Farida is the person who embroidered the square on the far right.

My piece is part of a selection of 220 works from 14  countries. From this pool a selection is made for each exhibit as it tours Europe.    

Good news is a nice way to start the week!

Below are 6 of the embroidered Afghanistan squares I bought recently.

Each square is densely filled with stitch and has a border made of over lapping V's to contain those stitches.

Not sure how I will use them yet.
