The fall color, muted here, because our trees are largely oak, beech, walnut, sycamore, ash. Just the first touches are starting after the first few cool nights.
Not a lot of fungi, no lichen at all yet, but downed leaves showing color.
And insects, this little bee? wasp? may be too small to see here. Insects including butterflies, are still busy. Mosquitoes are getting their last bites in while the biting's good.
Happy day, everyone! I'm thinking of learning Bayeux stitch. It's a form of embroidery I've never done. The entire Bayeux tapestry was executed in it, hence, I suppose, the name.
It may relate to tapis, word for carpet, because carpets and rugs were often hung or spread on tables as coverings. I'll check on this, because there may be one other person in the world who cares.
Anyway I'm thinking of it for the next page in my fabric book which has been looking at me for a while waiting its turn.
It got under the fusion quilt project, poor thing. The Bayeux stitch consists of long threads covering an area and couched down by a second threaded. Not difficult, I've just never done it.
But first, lunch
Roasted slices of chicken breast with capers, mixed green salad with mayo. Just fine.
Happy day everyone, encouraging thoughts to people who struggled through Helene and are facing another storm.
One of my friends told me her sister left Florida just ahead of Helene, and went to -- North Carolina. Who knew. She was then stranded but okay, cursing her luck, now I think back in Florida.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that embroidery style. Unless it was used on one of the tapestries I saw in the museums or castle walls. It looks interesting. I might just be that one other person who is interested
ReplyDeleteOh good, one other person! It's a niche interest.
DeleteYou've educated me about Bayeux Stitch!
ReplyDeleteIt's not long since I found out about it myself. I hadn't realized that most of the stitching was one stitch. It would explain the unity of this huge, many paneled work.
