Daphne Goodyear and Friends UPDATED

I've mentioned Daphne Goodyear's website before but she's updated it with stitching from her friends.  Friends like Lee Cox and Sonia who are wildly talented.  Give it a minute for each page to load.  Many have slide shows that take a bit to get downloaded and start playing.

Daphne herself does absolutely incredible Melissa Shirley Wild Women portraits.  They are worth visiting again and again if you are stitching people, just for the ideas and creativity Daphne puts into her work.

This is a site to bookmark and visit on days when you want inspiration with your morning beverage.  It's terrific that Daphne and her friends allow us to gawk at their work.  And gawk I do--it is a wonderful "feast for the eyes."

UPDATE:  Sudu took my suggestion to visit Daphne's website and ran with it.  She turned up a book by Daphne and so much more!  Clever Sue....

There are lots of ideas there, Robin. I find inspiration every time I visit. You win the Smart Cookie Award for the weekend for bookmarking it for later visits any time you need an idea.

Thanks for this link. Amazing work! I must have spent half an hour looking at it.

Me, too. I go back periodically, just to stare and admire it all.
