SPRING SLOW STITCHING and FORMULA 1

 
We are watching the Austrailian Grand Prix
Practice 3 and...
I have begun a small slow stitching project:
I am calling "Spring Rain"
↓↓↓↓
First, I dyed these scraps with some of my
watercolor paints in a little
container of water; ironed them when dry; 
then I collaged 
them onto a lightweight piece of
batting and tacked them into place.

I have  begun working on the hand stitching
while watching F1 (Formula One). ;)))

Although these ARE scraps, they are
totally different from my usual 
scrap pieces...in that they are all in
the same light colorway...
palest of Spring greens...

Some are pieces of old pillow cases, 
some linen scraps and some muslins...

I am having to pace myself while
hand sewing...a little bit at a time...

*************************************
Today is a rainy day here with very gray skies;
but our grasses are starting to show green and
my daffodils are starting to poke up with their
bit of greenery...
It has begun to feel like Spring;)))

hugs, Julierose,
