Thus Far ...

After trying and rejecting several colour combinations I decided to try something completely out of my comfort zone and found myself clutching a tube of bronze acrylic paint. I was looking for colours to reflect the subtle stem shades along with the burnished hues of the approaching autumn. The gold foil was an afterthought suggesting the golden rays of the sun.  

We all like to stitch a perfect circle and the free machine stitch on the tubes would have been excellent practice were it not for the melting and distortion of the heat gun.

On that note it is time for a good tidy up and hiding of some equipment including the heat gun. Two of my grandchildren are arriving shortly for a half term sleep over and whilst they are both very competent on my sewing machine I fear for my workroom if they get their hands on the hot air gun!
