Why Raymond Crawford Is My Hero

Many of us have probably seen and admired Raymond Crawford's painted canvases, but I had no idea what he gets up to in his spare time.

Here's Raymond's website.  All you see there is needlepoint canvases but the next time I visit, I know I'll be visiting a hero's website.  After all, someone who works this hard to preserve his little bit of heaven is a hero, don't you think?  And he designs great NP, too!

Many thanks to Tara for telling me about this article.  Where would Blog be without its spies?!

Go Raymond! Thanks for bringing this to our attention Jane! Very cool. I read the whole article & I'm glad I don't live there!

Woo Hoo! Raymond Crawford for President! (I think the world will be a much better place once we get a stitcher in the White House, don't you?)

Seriously, though. Thank you for sharing that article. Amazing work, Mr. Crawford! Bravo to you and your fellow citizens!

Wonderful! It just takes a bit of involvement to stop some of the things that are going on around us.
