Crafts other than Quilting (Oil & Tole Painting, Cross Stitch)

Other than Quilting, some of the crafts that I like best are  oil painting, tole painting, cross stitch and other needle work.

Most of these painting were done in the 1970’s and 1980’s before I started quilting.  The last one of the Pink Daisies was done in 2010.

Home at Centerton

This oil painting was a gift to my parents on their 50^th wedding anniversary.  This is the house where I was raised in Centerton, Arkansas.  A photo of the house is in the bottom right corner.
