      "The Initial Carver"
     I used to do a lot of needlepoint in the 1970s  and   stitched  this piece called   "The Initial Carver"  .
     I finished the piece in 1977  and I stitched her skin and the dog in petti-point and the rest in a regular needlepoint stitch.

Here is a version of our national Anthem that is not to be missed.  It was played at the Philadelphia Eagles game a while back.  It's excellent.
