Summer's heat is cooling down up here in the North Early morning walks are cool and misty but the days do eventually warm up and it is a joy to stitch on the front porch with Rusty Pups basking in the sun eager to receive visitors. It is thrilling for me to be given a chance to stitch. After two months with the pups they have settled, giving me more stitching time. Thank you girls! Couching down layer upon intertwined layer of twigs and branches. Just the beginnings of a piece inspired by our Springtime adventures discouraging the beavers from taking over our garden. They did leave eventually. After all, in these parts, they have hundreds of streams and ponds to choose from! Deep in thought watching her sister chewing something or other!

Shapes are defined by changes in hue, but the limited color palettes bring each design together as one natural colony. More
