August is finishing its 2019 version


... and so am I with my tapestry diary for the month. This time around it is a small flower. 


It's a small image for the month because I only had a little bit of time to work on it.  The area for the month was just 3" by 3". I started it yesterday and finished today. I guess I have about an hour and a half of weaving time between the two days devoted to it. It will most likely be the smallest and simplest of the floral images I'm doing this year.

I took a photo of a little flower on the last day of the Penland class, one I saw while walking to Northlight for the final show and tell event of the session.

The flower was quite tiny in an expanse of grasses and weeds. I didn't know what it was and later identified it with an app I have on my phone. Turns out it was a Whitestar morning glory


My goal is to have a larger flower for the upcoming month to show in about 30 days. But I also have a large and scary deadline coming by the end of September. So there may be no flower at all! But there will be days. Yes, there will be weaving into the tapestry diary on each day--even if only a couple of pick each time.

There will be days to come and this month will pass and this deadline will be met. And then I'll be back to weaving most of the days of my life!
