Autumn Leaves and Summer Fruits















Autumn Leaves has been in my finishing drawer for some time, and I finally got it made into a flat fold with some gorgeous paisley fabric. It inspired me to pull out my autumn plates and decorate my hutch for the fall.

I also have been inspired to finish off some of the fruit thread packs by LHN into little pinkeeps during a stitch-a-long we're having at the LHN group. I really want to do pumpkins, peaches, and pear next.

I wish my blog posts weren't so few and far between these days but that is life right now! Hope you all are well.

It's a beautiful piece--just stunning! I may be a bit backwards in terms of ideas like this but I've not heard of the flat fold before. It's gorgeous and makes a beautiful way to present the stitching. I'll have to read more about this technique.

At last I come and leave a friendly comment on your blog again, dear Rachel. It's such a peaceful and relaxing moment to read you, watch your photos and browse through your blog again. I love your Fall exhibition on your shelves very much. Here we have to add fog at morning over the landscape (owing to the fact that we are settled along a very large river). Summer was summerized for me in the words "surgery" and "hospital". I had very serious heart surgery in the middle of July, then a second time three weeks later. After all this I spent more than 2 months in 4 various hospitals, because of many complications! Now I'm back home but with daily nursing care and I recover very slowly. My family was wonderful during all this time, and my church too. They helped a lot. For many weeks I couldn't use a computer at hospital. Now I'm very glad to be able to use it again, as I can cross stitch too, both activities being fitted very well with the quiet life I must have.Also I can care for my online cross stitch shop again and send the orders to customers (http://latelierdelacolombe.com)
I wish you very quiet and happy coming days. I'll visit you again soon. I wish you many happy coming days.Hugs from France.

Rachel these finishes are just beautiful. I never would have thought to make a flat fold out of the PS design.
I love your hutch and the pinkeeps look just wonderful displayed in the basket.
