My mother, Patricia Mooney, introduced me to needlepoint many years ago.

Several years ago, she asked me to use my computer programs to make her a chart of a painting that hung in the lobby of her apartment complex. She inclosed a 3" x 5" Instamatic snapshot she had taken of it. I did the same sort of work on this photo I had done for the Rembrandt piece, and sent her a chart.

This sort of design is the most difficult sort to stitch up, but she finished it in one and a half years.
