The weather turned cold and gray here, but it's sunny in my sewing room! I started stitching on this sweet sunflower design on Friday evening. This is Melisa's August Doodle. It's going to work perfectly as the center for my version of the Fall Fortnight quilt project over at From My Carolina Home!
I've been working on the flying geese and cornerstones that will surround the embroidered center, too. Continuing the sunflower theme!
The center will be surrounded by a narrow green border,
which is that dark green dot fat quarter you see to the left.
There's a final wider green border, too.
This little embroidery shouldn't take too long to finish up, so if I run out of slow stitching, I'll get back to work on quilting the Rainbow Hollow Nine Patch quilt.

Cute embroidery for the centre of your quilt. The green fabric is perfect for a narrow border. I’m looking forward to seeing this one come together. Gail
This is shaping up to be such a pretty quilt! Love those sunflowers. Enjoy your Sunday!
That is the perfect center for this little sunflower project.
I like your idea for the corners. On the placement of the geese, the design has them pointing to the upper left and lower right corners. But if you've decided you would rather have them run in a circle, you certainly can make it that way. No rules here!
I like that little embroidery. It is perfect for that quilt.
Your sunflower Fall Fortnight project looks wonderful. You did a great job making it perfectly yours! Although I didn’t join in, you all got me excited about finishing a small Fall quilt I started last year! I’ll show my progress this week on my blog.
very neat stitching on that last piece
That sunflower fabric is so pretty! Nice choice!
Great border for your happy sunflower embroidery! It’s going to look lovely.
The stitchery and the border are a nice combination!
Those are great corners! I am loving the sunflowers!!!!
