Stitch Journal Day #19

I am a late joiner to the idea of a Stitch Journal and the process is what I like the most. The freedom of creativity is different from all the others. I find it meditative. Like today I was out on the back porch enjoying a cup of coffee when out in the pasture came a deer slowly moving through the high grass. We figure she must have a fawn near by because of the way she was acting, slow and cautious. What I never expected was to see the smallest fawn I've ever seen. For a brief time the fawn was in a spot of short grass and you could see that it barely came up to the mother's belly. Very awkward and unsteady at walking, so we knew it was born within the last 24 hrs. Just so precious. I was so in the moment never thought to take a picture. But that is what I put on my stitch journal, the fawn. Found floss that had the colors of the fawn, brown with light color for the spots        This is my representation of the fawn.

Works in Progress

I mentioned the other day that I would share some of the new projects I'm working on and my "one thing" It's the first block of The Garden Party quilt I started last year. This is the "one thing with Amy" I posted on Instagram.   Top is where I am now and bottom shows the lace flowers added there is a couple pedals left to applique and then the laced motifs flowers. Goal is by Friday. Now a new project is a stitch journal. Have seen various form of these on Instagram and was intrigued but it wasn't until I saw   Claire Wellesley-Smith and  Bonnie Sennott works. It spoke to me and I knew I needed to do one of mine own. I'm taking their Que and each day I stitch a representation of something I see outside. So far I have the last of the Dogwoods on the first of May in the center. As I go around the center each day I'm adding, have the variety of Iris's in the yard  I'm having
