The delicate pear...
arriving at the end of summer,
they hang like jewels in the trees,
as the cooler weather approaches.
On my work table, are several, (actually A LOT),
of projects that need 'finishing' for
an upcoming show.
This slice of pear is complete,
with it's Beaded Blanket Stitch.
After digging in my stash,
I was able to locate
Czech Glass Beads size 6/0,
in nice pinkish shades to
compliment the Hollyhocks punch needle.
This is finished into a small 'charm cushion'.
Some of the blossoms
on my Oakleaf Hydrangea
are turning a vivid fuchsia pink.
I'm loving this flash of color, so late in the season !
We are enjoying some of the BEST weather,
here in Pennsylvania...
70's and sunny with a slight breeze.
My son has returned to school
and it's time to dig in and gather up
the threads, wool, fibers and maybe even
a stash of Mattress ticking in warm reds...
Have a lovely and creative weekend, friends...

I am always drawn to pears for quilts and decorating for fall and Christmas, love them with pumpkins and grapes. I love their various golds and rosy colors.
ReplyDeleteYour design is so pretty, always love the beads.
70's is for September!! Not August!! We had a high of 64 yesterday complete with socks.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is always perfection!
ReplyDeleteYes, we've had some wonderful weather. Very un-August-like but I will enjoy every day of it.
Happy weekend :)

I love that stitch!! Sp pretty. How nice that you have perfect weather. Still crazy hot here. I know though it can't last.
ReplyDeleteHave a delightful weekend.
Your stitching is always so beautiful! Love the stitch that embellishes the weaver's cloth to the wool. Of course...the beads are always an eye catcher too! This time of year is so relaxing....enjoying much of the same weather here in central nj...ahhhhhh! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of that stitch on the edge of the hollyhock punch needle? It is exquisite!
