It seems sometimes, that the days fly by so quickly,

and even though, I spend a good part of the day..........

stitching........

I don't always make a lot of progress..........but this is the path of hand embroidery.............

so much time spent, working hundreds of stitches.

As you might remember, I showed the speckled pink flower in a post or two back

as I work on a new pillowcase design. I don't have a color scheme set out for this particular pattern. 

I love how the color of orange can perk up any design.............

don't you? 

I am picking a section that I want to stitch and then pick the colors for that section as I go.

Blue and yellow always seem to go together well.........

don't you think?

I am enjoying this process and anticipate a pillowcase set........

full of color.

I am hearing that a cold front is moving in, the wind has already started to blow...........

and I often think of this verse on cold days as this..............

 

Buttons and patches and the cold wind blowing,
The days pass quickly when I am sewing.

I hope that this finds you in warm and pleasant weather.............

or somewhere, warm and pleasant.........

stitching the day away!

I love to hear!
