Long Night Moon #3

Guess what I got for Christmas?... A rotten flu virus! This is as far as I have been able to get with the Long Night Moon cloth. My whole body is aching. I am supposedly going to spend the day doing nothing (is that possible?) with Nilo, who is recovering fast and getting back to his usual active self.















The flower is quilted...















The moth applique edges are stitched and ready to be added to the cloth and then quilted...















An interesting edge. Although I am not planning to show this edge as part of the finished piece (whatever that turns out to be!) I like the effect of this ever so simple stitch, and plan to play with it whilst "resting".

Long Night Moon #2

I am pretty slow at this. But, little by little, it is coming along. And the point is, I'm enjoying it! I hope to have some more updates on this piece before Christmas day.



















I don't know why, but I often end up sitting indoors. Even though we live in a tropical paradise. Now I am making a conscious effort to take my work out into the garden. There, I can rest my eyes in the distance.



















A starry sky...



















I love this flower!
