The Accidental Embroiderer

Where did Summer go?

I just can't understand it. Only 5 minutes ago it was March, and here it is almost October, for heaven's sake. I really don't know what happened to summer – maybe it just disappeared because I've been spending so much time indoors, in the same place. But whatever happened to it, I really miss not having any summer this year. So maybe it's a good idea that this idea came out of nowhere, to remind me of our usual flocks of swallows and our wildflowers. I honestly have no idea why I felt compelled to do this design – perhaps it was a subconscious realisation that this would be about all of summer I'd see this year

The only summer I'm going to get…

  1. I am always amazed at the life and motion you get in your birds! They are almost origami angles, yet they look realistic, too…and alive. Wow.

  2. Hi Mia, Definitely, your embroidery represents a lovely, sunny summer day with colorful flowers and beautiful birds flying overhead. The weather has started to change here for us too. Fall is definitely here, and we will have the fall leaves and cooler air to look forward too. Thanks for sharing your version of a bright and cheerful summer day with us.

  3. Love looking at your embroideries Thank you for the ones that you share. Swallows give you a sense of freedom when you watch them fly.
