solstice

The highlight of summer ?

It is, in our dance around the sun

but not when you think of the weather at the moment ...

Nevertheless

my Summer Solstice piece is finished.

(just in time yesterday evening,

to participate in a solstice fire daughter and her best friend had

noooo, they didn't burn it, I think )

Summer Solstice 2014

Still think it was such a good idea to start 

with the woven fabric strips.

Though it wasn't easy to stitch

because the cotton scraps that Sus dyed herself,

was such tightly woven cotton, that it was hard to pull the needle 

with the thick cotton that I used most of the time, through.

(even needed pliers sometimes !)

I hope for a lot of "real" warm summer still to come,

and  "down under"  ...  slowly but surely, the days will get longer.
