Late August Days

"some days in late August at home are like this,

the air think and eager, 

with something in it sad and nostalgic 

and familiar.

                                                            William Faulkner

This stitched piece is from a vintage crewel embroidery 

kit that I came upon in a junk store. Instead of using yarn,  I used embroidery floss for the 

stitching and added extra flowers to it to make it "my own".

To see how the piece looked before stitching, you can visit my embroidery blog.
