Slow Sunday Stitching and Happy Halloween

 

Time has just flown by so fast my head is nearly spinning.  The weather here in central Florida has cooled in the evenings and early mornings making for very pleasant autumn days.

I didn't make any autumn stitchery pieces this year most of the year was spent working on the goddess a month project.  I do have a few pieces I have stitched in the past. On October 31st 2016 block 10 of the Hocuspocusville Quilt was completed, the 12 blocks are still waiting for me to put them together.

This goddess Tatsuta-Hime, Goddess of dyeing and weaving, dyes silk yarn and weaves a beautiful multicolored tapestry of yellow, orange, russet, crimson and gold. She then incarnated Herself as wind and blew Her own work to shreds, the scattering cloth resembling the blowing leaves of autumn. I wanted the effect of the wind blowing her dress into autumn leaves. 

She remains one of my favorite Goddess pieces I have done so far, she was done June 3, 2016. 

The two pieces below were free patterns for autumn I think I did them last year or the year before.

Currently I am working on finishing the October Goddess of the month, Elen of the Ways. 

If you aren't familiar with Elen of the Ways here is one of my favorite images of her
