The Martha Stewart Show, March 2011 http://www.marthastewart.com/338614/arctic-tapestry

When Martha wanted to surprise her daughter Alexis and granddaughter Jude with a special tapestry for the nursery, she turned to "Martha Stewart Show" crafter Hosanna Houser. Inspired by the adorable carved animal sculptures of The Arctic Trading Company that she saw during her recent trip to see the polar bears in Churchill, Canada, Martha commissioned Hosanna to create a beautiful mural depicting scenes of northern life. The result: a stunning 138-inch-long felted tapestry featuring 89 different Arctic-inspired designs.
