Everyone and their mother is getting married

"This is the first time I've had a partner where after four years, I still get excited to see his car in the driveway."

These are the words of my friend's mom, who is engaged. I have been joking that everyone and their mother is getting married, and it seems that this is true.

Congratulations to the couple featured in this embroidery. Congratulations also to my twin brother and his fiancée; to my cousin and his fiancée; and to a number of beloved friends who will also be married in the next 12 months.

Brooklyn Heights love -- the latest from the Brooklyn Love Exchange

I'm quite fond of my latest piece for The Brooklyn Love Exchange:

"He told me that when he met me for the first time, he thought, "In another life, this is the type of woman I should marry."

This couple IS now happily married.

If you're in the New York area, I'm previewing my work from The Brooklyn Love Exchange at the Dumbo Arts Festival, taking place tonight, Friday 9/23 from 6-9, as well as tomorrow and Sunday. I will be on site Saturday and Sunday from 1-4pm at 81 Front Street.

Drop by to see my work and to participate in my improvised embroidery process: I will interview guests and add your stories to my Brooklyn love map, and begin creating new pieces for The Brooklyn Love Exchange. I can't wait to see you there!

Between earthquakes and hurricanes, love flourishes in Bushwick

So Good
