Tulips

Today was my errand and lunch day. And a very warm and muggy one. This afternoon, I retreated to the my sewing studio in the cool house where I finally pulled the tulip piece out to work at finishing it.

The garden view through the studio window is very green and lush right now.  I will soon be busy picking and processing some beans.

Even with the overhead fan and the AC on, I kept the shears pulled against the sun. With some gentle background music, I set about adding some highlights to the tulips.

 

 I'm not quite to the point of adding the batting and quilting, but almost. I'm excited about that part.

I want to add a little shimmer to the dragonfly body before I attach the wings.

Here's a shot of some of the background texture.

I feel quite weak even though it's cool in here. It must be the oppressive mugginess. Time to stop for a bite to eat.
