I like the colors but I wasn't sure what to do with it. I went through my little box of vintage jewelry pieces and found a pretty little green dragonfly pin. I think I bought that one at the flea market that we went to on Easter morning.
Anyway, I thought it looked really nice so once I had the focal point chosen, I started stitching:
When I think of dragonflies, I often think of cattails. That's something I've never added to a CQ before and I thought it would be kind of cool looking and it is! I plan to add a few more to the other side of the solid red piece in the center but first I need to figure out where to put my cat.
It's a dreary, rainy day here, the perfect day for stitching! I want to neaten up my lace drawers a little bit and then I'll sit and stitch. If I complete this today, I'll work a bit more on Maxine's quilt afterwards. I think I only have 2 more patches to replace and then I can start embellishing that one more.
Love your idea of R&R. I like the cattails. The colors of the heart are, to me, anyway, woodsy, and a pond in the woods with cattails and dragonflies is just right!
ReplyDeleteThe work is beautiful, the colours just right. Did I see my name there? LOL Maureen
ReplyDeleteI really like the cat tails. Where I am we call them pussy willows. Not sure why but its what I grew up calling them. I love the red fabrics too. :)
