"As a man tramps the woods to the lake he knows he will find pines and lilies, blue herons and golden shiners, shadows on the rocks and the glint of light on the wavelets, just as they were in the summer of 1354, as they will be in 2054 and beyond. He can stand on a rock by the shore and be in a past he could not have known, in a future he will never see. He can be a part of time that was and time yet to come." --William Chapman White
"Adirondacks" Number Six.
"Home is where your flowers grow." Number one.
"Maine: the Way Life Should Be" Number two.

ReplyDeleteWow! What beautiful work! How do you pick just one?
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult! Like Hannah, I'm kicking myself for not doing this. I'm not good with long deadlines, I'm such a last-minute.com type person then I ran out of time :-(
ReplyDeleteNext time I will start stitching the day you announce it! There will be a next time won't there?

These all look great! How fun that Alma Allen is offering you prizes!! You know, I had all the best intentions to do this - not sure what happened....
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are beautiful, and interesting to see how each stitcher made the adjustments to the same starting pattern.
ReplyDeleteTruly pretty projects! If it weren't for the speed of life right now, I'd feel really bad that I didn't do one. Instead, I'll just continue to look at the completed ones and try to pick a favorite.
