I sat at my sewing machine knowing I wanted to do something different this morning. I thought of making some potholders and looked at the pile of tea-stained hankies on my table. Something about the gray day outside made them appealing to me. So I cut one to potholder size and placed it on my sewing machine and closed my eyes. I emptied my mind to see what would come. Then I started to sew.
It was the trees that spoke to me. Each telling a different story…




These are so pretty!
Love all these designs.
Are these for sale?
They are for sale Tina, I’ll probably have them all done by the end of next week. They are $20 each + $5 shipping. If you see one you like just let me know.
Love these Maria!
Love the evolution of your tree forms, trunks, branches and those wonderful dimensional root systems. Each tree has a unique personality.
I just got interested in the roots a little more making these Lois. They really are as important as the branches.
These are so beautiful, I don’t have the words to describe how they make me feel. They move me to tears in such a warm and magical way.
Thanks Terri, I loved making them.
Excellent! I sent you an email.
They are all so beautiful!
Hi Maria,
I love those trees!
I would like to buy two of them: the Moon Tree and the Autumn Heart Tree, if possible.
Stay inspired,
Dorit
Hi Dorit, they’re both sold, but I’m sure to make more tree potholders, they keep calling to me. Thanks!
“Trees are the eternal optimists, reaching for the sky.” Love, love, love this latest work, Maria!
