NOVEMBER SUNSET
November scene from 2002 Piecemaker's Calendar quilt. Jennifer Sampou's ombre sky fabric was used for the background. This was also one of my problem children-the trouble in part was choosing fabric for the trees. I wanted them to be quaking aspens but fabric that evoked that image blended into the background so I had to search on.
And November is the month that (around here anyway) Canada Geese migrate. Tho here in our lake region, a lot of migration is east-west also as the geese find a more desirable part of the lake system to be in.
A short blog....not a lot to say except I am inspired by Kamala Harris! She gives me hope.
AND NOW....
YOUR MOMENT OF ZEN
A CAPE SUGARBIRD
HER HOME AND FLY ZONE IS SOUTH AFRICA
Photo by Cameron Brock from the Audubon Photography Awards. She captured the bird,yes, but the way she caught the beautiful pastel colors in a kind of abstract wash is just brilliant.

I am so impressed with your leaves. They do look like they're shimmering in the wind. It must've been very meditative to embroider the leaves.
ReplyDeleteI like Joe's decision, too! I feel a lot more hopeful again, thank goodness. Cheers, Pam!
Yes beautiful colours of the leaves and your trees look lovely too. Kamala sounds like a breath of fresh air after all these old men! xx
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful block! You've caught the beauty of each month in these blocks. The last week or so, I've been hearing the honking of geese in the early morning as they fly from their overnight pond. Perhaps they're flying to the most north field that had wheat in it last summer. They love to snack on the grain that has fallen onto the soil. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are so delicate and inspired. This one I find particularly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh yes....so beautiful!! All those tiny, perfect little leaves in different colours are lovely; so much careful stitching. Love too, the colour you selected for the bark of the trees. Those Canada Geese are sweet AND yes, a glimmer of hope now.
ReplyDeleteThis block is gorgeous, Pam. You're not just capturing seasons -- you've created a mood, a longing with this block. I love birch trees and geese and ambiguous skies. I admire silk ribbon embroidery but have never attempted it. Would love to take a class in that technique someday!
ReplyDeleteWow, this block is a beauty, I love all the colors on this tree. Geese are cute ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I am impressed!!! Lots of love and hard work in those leaves! Have a great day! Life is good!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous block! I think you got it just perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a whole lot of patience in order to complete only a few stitches with ribbon at a time. That tree is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe trees look incredible with the many little leaves and the geese are wonderful. I love the tree trunks too. Wish I was there inside your "painting"!
