Here we go with another Monday
progress report on the Sunflower...
I am curve piecing my way
along the top of the flower.
The blue background gets darker
along the top edge...
This distant image gives you some perspective
of just how big this flower really is...
At this point all of the petals are stitched in place.
I am beginning the green leaves
along the top left side...
5:00....I called it a day
Just a little corner left to piece.
Here's a look at real flowers
growing in the back yard this evening:
Dinner Plate Dahlias...
Always a favorite of mine...

This little green fly loves the flowers...
The grape arbor in the back yard
is putting on a show!
We know autumn has arrived when the
grape leaves turn gorgeous shades of red...
I tasted a few of the grapes...
they are almost ready,
maybe another week or so.
We have 12 different varieties of table grapes
growing on the arbor...
Wishing you a colorful Autumn!
