Good Morning Friends & Folk ~
and happy sunny hot & humid Wednesday to you all!
After being in New England this past weekend,
my melancholy heart is longing for my roots…
~ the sights & colors of old Connecticut & Massachusetts
have my imagination going in a direction towards Autumn once again ~
and that is fine with me.
While in Sturbridge, we visited a little shop called
Quilt & Cabbage
where I found the most beautiful homespuns in my favorite shades;
blacks, greys, blues, cheddars ~ ticking & checks and plaids…
oh my!
I will incorporate these into my needlework as backings and such.
{actually I never have a plan in mind when fabrics find me ~ I just take them on home along with me}
see the little punched squirrel?
he will become a pattern for my Autumn/Harvest/Hallowe'en release
coming in July….
of course, being a shop owns myself, and one that carries lots of wools…
I HAD to purchase these from Doreen at Ye Country Mercantile in Sturbridge, MA
{what's wrong with me?}
they just jumped into my arms
~ like we were long-lost friends ~
you can see the beginnings of another pattern model below,
this one is wool appliqué of course…
I love the tags on this wool
"Wool Hooker"
If I get any down-time this evening,
I will drool over peruse this new book that I purchased up north…
it was the cover that made me buy it….
{ya think?}
Printing
Packaging
Shipping
Banking
that's what's on my agenda for today ~
… before I get to punch any loops or pull any thread.
Have a beautiful mid-week-day my friends!
~ Blessings from the Farm ~
