I don't sew well, so I am super impressed by these.

Tapertries by "Draper"....that her actual name....tapistries ....draper....?  Pretty work, tho, and quite realistic.

I have known how to needlepoint since I was a kid. And have done some I was pretty proud of, but they are of kindergarten quality compared with Ms Draper's.

Jill Draper's an artist. Her's are just exquisite and extremely difficult.

I was surprised at her prices...I would have thought they would be double what was in the article.....
