AND SO, AUGUST ENDS, et al

 

I finished hand quilting (minimal)
on my 
Redwork Seasons 
wall hanging
yesterday,,,,
Now for binding...

You can see I only 
Big Stitched along the borders...

***************************
And here is my first week of my 
Calendar of Life (COL)
Intuitive Embroidery..

The Full Corn Moon was on Aug 28th--
hence the golden circle whipped with
sparkley gold thread 
(can you see??);

This week our last Rose of Summer
dropped its petals 
and
inspired this block....

Our rose is left looking bereft
as it clings to our fence...

[taken through our backroom window..]

And today, 
I decided to incorporate some
of my cherished Sari Silk ribbon
leftovers by sprinkling them 
throughout this COL project...

Here is the first little offcut
piece...
I Kantha echo stitched all around after
invisibly basting the ribbon down...

I was able to get those tiny stitches
by using
my newly acquired 
tulip embroidery needles...

I am not affiliated in any way with this company;
but I have to say
 I L💜VE love love this needle--
and
would recommend it for 
working in small areas...

{FYI: that is my sewing pillow 
peeking out behind
the needle box}
:)))))

On my way out to the deck to
 drink my first cup of coffee
after going out early to get 
my yearly bloodwork done..
