“Goodnight Moon” needle art diorama by Dundee & Lee.“Goodnight Moon,” the beloved children’s story by Margaret Wise Brown, is the focus of this week’s textile arts exploration with Emilie Dundee Odeile and Ken Lee Chapin of Dundee & Lee. The story of how Emilie and Ken met from across the country and formed a partnership and company to create outstanding needle art displays is straight out of a Hollywood movie script. Their signature piece, so far, is the life-sized diorama, “Goodnight Moon, A Fiber Tale,” which was constructed with 152 miles of yarn and nearly 6 million stitches. It’s a stunning piece that has already been admired by thousands of lovers of needle arts and the book. But the real story is how these impressive, creative artists are making their visions become reality and available for the public to enjoy. Be sure to visit their website and watch the videos on YouTube to thoroughly enjoy their work. For lovers of “Goodnight Moon,” their video of the reading by Jason and Jett using animation of the diorama will bring back childhood memories.–Gary
