Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind, and dance upon the mountains like a flame!
~W.B. Yeats




Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...

~W.B. Yeats

all of it

Since you wanted to see the finished part, here you go The plan is to stitch it together into a pouch and make it heavy, into a weight for my lap frame. (I use copper be bes for the weight) The back has a monogram of my initials (NT)

The Garden Plot Thickens

This is a design by Amy Mitten that I started last summer. It hasn't been my main focus, but I've finally finished it! Here is the completed picture. Since it is rather long, I have posted sections separately.

This is the 2nd part down

The Garden Plot Thickens

I have finished The Garden Plot Thickens! Its rather long, so the picture of it all together will be tiny, so I will post the sections separately. The colors are very muted, something I am not used to. They do not show very well against the fabric and I found that a bit frustrating. I just didn't feel like reworking all the colors. I did alter one of the greens here and there. I will post the pictures separately so you can see them more clearly
