Julia asked us each to accept a challenge for the month of August. I have decided to have a month off stitching in August so I was allowed to do the challenge early. We were given an envellope with fabric. We had to use some of each of the fabrics and could add others. I was horrified when I saw my selection as they are not colours I usually use. The bright yellow was the most challenging so I decided to start there and cut out a small circle that could be the setting sun. From there it just came together. The taupe and the dark velvet fabrics were used to add colour to the sheer blue fabric and the other fabrics I used in the sky. I kept the forgegound simple and after working on roses and a lily pond for my last two projects I found myself back to stitching hedgerows. I am pleased with the end result which I have called "Eventide".
I have now challenged Julia to set up a Facebook page for her own work so let's see if she accepts the challenge.
