I found this as I was going through old Ensign magazines. I thought Lydia would like to have it someday. It's beautiful. The caption says:
She Worketh Willingly with Her Hands, by Elspeth Young
Lydia was a seller of purple in the city of Thyatira. Like the virtuous woman described in Proverbs, Lydia worked "willingly with her hands", (Proverbs 31:13) She was among those who listened to the Apostle Paul and "whose heart the Lord opened" (Acts 16:14) After she and her household were baptized she invited Paul to come to her home and further teach them (see Acts 16:15)

I also found this book at the library called, Tapestries: Stories of Women in the Bible by Ruth Sanderson (one of my all time favorite illustrators). Here is the page about Lydia.
