Fiber artist Anna Marie Peterson was recently featured by azfamily.com and I was immediately captivated … she’s an incredible artist and inspiring too. Can you believe she only learned needle-felting at age 94?! Next time I feel like I’m too old to learn something new or take on a new life challenge, I will think of her!

Here are a few of her recent pieces:
