For falling leaves... and for falling behind. I finished this embroidery not long after the wisteria, just when it was starting to feel like autumn outside. The season is in full swing now. For all the wild fluctuations in weather we've had over the past few months, fall foliage is turning out to be quite vibrant and pretty this year. Inspired by all the lovely colors and wanting to preserve a bit of it, I arranged the Japanese maple motif for another snap frame purse design.
In keeping with the season, I chose to stitch on wool fabric this time. The interior has stripes to match.
But just as the autumnal show is brief, so was the purse in my posession. Soon after I finished it, it went off to a happy new home. Now it's time to turn towards more wintry things-- it's hard to believe that December is already around the corner!
