The new fabric came Saturday. We don’t get mail til afternoon, so by the time I washed and ironed it there wasn’t a lot of work time left. By Sunday afternoon this is what I had.

It didn’t work to have yellow flowers in the foreground, too choppy. The darker fabrics work as a subtle border, grounding it down there. The elk’s shoulder blends in better and the bush to the right looks more natural. I still see a few things I want to change but I should get the sections sewn today!

It’s still rainy and cooler today – such a relief! I hope to get outside and do some weeding while the ground is soft. Things are looking so much better, but the heat took it’s toll.
