I should be writing today’s blog post, but I got completely sidetracked reading this Twitter Moment. The comments are seriously awesome…but, back to the post:
I was rudely reminded over the weekend that grey, rainy days are the bane of photographers everywhere. So, trying to get photos for today’s post have caused this serious case of procrastination. Late yesterday afternoon, just moments before the sunset…
(at what seemed like 4:30 in the afternoon)
The clouds gave way and I managed to get a photo to share October’s Stitching.
While this stitching may not look like much, it holds incredible (and some painfully sad) memories; flocks of birds, vibrant colored leaves, winds, rains, Lake Michigan, and Las Vegas. This month certainly achieves an award for being a memory stitching!
I also love the “new-to-me” techniques I learned tried this month. The satin stitching with multiple colors, the center of my spiral where I tried to capture the look of blue skies breaking through a cloudy morning, and waves that have French knot “white caps”. All in all, October was a very good month!
Also… today is a VERY IMPORTANT DAY!!
Don’t forget to go vote!
Happy Tuesday everyone!
The shorter, darker days to require some planning when it comes to getting a Daily photo. Your stitching is lovely!
Lovely. I definitely get a sense of fall leaves and swirling winds. And I feel you on the difficulty in getting decent photos right now — just another reason to despise this time of year!
Your stitching is so so lovely!
Yes, the change in time and light adjustments are tricky!!
I love your October stitching, I think it captures the essence of autumn!
Each month your stitching gets better, more creative, and interesting! I love your techniques, colors, and interpretations, and always look forward to seeing more of your lovely stitchery.
Nostradamus – HA!
I’m happy to have a bit of daylight again on my early morning commute, but even that isn’t going to last long. Counting the days ’til December 21st!! Your stitching is gorgeous, as always.
Every. Single. Month. You hit it out of the park.
So very cool. No voting in my world today but I’m having sad memories of last year’s election results.
I love the way you’ve incorporated color and movement in this months piece. Overall your project is going to be incredible! I love vote by mail. 🙂
Swoon! Just wonderful and I can see why you fall asleep ad awake with “stitching on your mind.”
Stitch on!
Cheers~
Your stitching is an inspiration. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
I love your experiments and new techniques. The colors work so well together and in spite of the sadness, I sense calm and peace and a continuing cycle of life. Yep, again, it’s a masterpiece!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
I got shut down with photos today, too. (You’ll get to see my toilet in the background tomorrow on the blog. I hate the months with no light. . . )
I definitely don’t enjoy the dark, dreary weather, but I love that stitching. It is so creative and tells such a vivid story. I am really impressed.
I voted!!! your stitching is inspiring and so lovely. I adore your tiny stitches and your style of using color along with the different designs 🙂
