Her medium is embroidery, but with an added enhancement. All of her work is done entirely freehand, from her own designs, with NO pattern. None. Take a look at some of her work, and tell me that she is an exceptional artist and designer. https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1946493837263724725?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1943241387815637055?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Breathtaking! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1938901834745168224?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Mind-blowing! https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1936144529330938180?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1934953513366569397?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Joyful relaxation https://twitter.com/gtilleymatthews/status/1933533528987480153?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Lovely …

For the past 60 years, the Left has controlled public education and the legacy media. They have been indoctrinating children (schools) and adults (media), to believe that all cultures are equal, and that Western countries and cultures have been oppressing the rest of the world for centuries. So let’s take a look at some manifestations …

This photo of the Skagit River near Rockport, Washington was taken in the late afternoon. Despite …

No one should ever lose sight of the manifest benefits that western culture has bestowed upon the world, no matter how much the Left attempts to denigrate or dismantle it. Parents, be sure to show your children the very best of Western Civilization. https://twitter.com/jscotteswood/status/1944946200542593024?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ The Renaissance https://twitter.com/archi_tradition/status/1945140945516654659?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Homes, and defensive fortresses. 14th Century coaching inn. …
