| Final flower choices. Bluebird in the Early Morning (Janet Bolton) is ready for the final flower choices to be stitched on. This small cloth fills me with happiness each time I look at it. I love the warmth it projects, the simple hopes of each day to come. My next task will be to organise the backing cloth. I am not happy with my initial choice (not pictured) and so I am going to try dyeing some washed calico in beetroot. At close of needle yesterday I had re-arranged some pieces on my small cloths in waiting. Fixed a backing to another small cloth and generally tidied up the fragments of cloth that spotted our floor. Today I hope to sew on these flowers. That doesn't sound like much, however it is quite a lot, for the Fall Semester at University has begun. Happy stitching, Gilly |

I fell in love with some pictures of Janet Bolton's work a long time ago...featured in Victoria magazine at one time. I'll have to keep an eye out for the book. What you've done here is very joyful...
