Lookie what she made: Maya Angelou cardigan

Gina Sekelsky from lettergirl and Rich Inner Life shows her most recently completed sewing project – a handstitched cardigan covered with a favorite quote from Maya Angelou. The simple lines of the cardigan are the perfect background for the words of the quotation. The little bits of chartreuse peeking through here and there are utter perfection. Read more about her project and see more photos at Rich Inner Life.
