That's not a reference to our October weather here in Colorado, although it could be. We often have heat, wind, rain, and snow all within a day or two. But this time it refers to an embroidery project. I've finished the Autumn design for Gail Pan's Changing Seasons.
So... all four seasons are stitched! For some reason I cut the fabric for Autumn quite a bit smaller than the other three seasons - but they can be trimmed to match.
I'm working on an idea to fully finish these into a small quilt, but it will be a 2027 project.
Meanwhile, I did continue on my daily stitching this week. Last Sunday's design was lots of little bird feet, because we are so entertained by all the birds at our feeders. On Thursday this past week, we drove by some pretty sunflowers in someone's yard - still blooming!
Other days were just "doodle" stitching!
There's only one week left in October - that's hard to believe! I'm ready to start something new in addition to my daily embroidery, but haven't decided what it is yet. Maybe I'll have something new to share next Sunday!
Linking up with all the slow stitchers at Kathy's Quilts!

How pretty those seasons are. Kathy's designs are so attractive to me. I had an e-book of hers, but I am afraid it got lost in cyber-land. Looking forward to seeing how you frame it!
These embroideries look fabulous! Beautiful designs and lovely embroidery! Can’t wait to see how you make them into a wall hanging to display in your home. Gail at the cozy quilter.
Your Four Seasons are just so lovely--they will make a great quilt!! I love your embroideries--the little birds' " tootsies" are so cute Diann:)))Very inspired choice...
I have begun filling in every other block that I've missed with bits of fabric to make my re-entry into this project a bit easier on my hands. I will just Kantha-like stitch those on...and then only embroider the other blocks bit by bit. Hoping to finish and "catch up" by the end of this month--that will finish this panel up and I can start on November's blocks...I really wish they weren't all just sqs and have some thoughts about using two or three vertically as one..we shall see...Hugs, Julierose
Since I had forgotten what your other stitched seasons looked like it was nice to see them all together. Your daily stitches are growing nicely;)
Hooray for finishing your Autumn stitchery! I am loving your daily stitchery. . .all those doodles turned into yummy stitches!
Your Four Seasons embroidery would look beautiful on a wall hanging, Dianne. They are all very pretty and well embroidered.
The 4 seasons embroidery pieces turned out beautifully. They will make a very pretty quilt. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to start on next.
Can't wait to see how you finish your four seasons stitcheries.
Daily embroidering is so wonderful, Diann. I love all your projects.
What pretty 'season's' you have embroidered--will be waiting to see how you finish them off--in the new year!! And to have to 'decide' on the next project must be a good feeling--me--I always have some project yelling at me to finish it!!!!!!!! Hugs, di
I bet none of the rain I see in SW Colorado is coming to you? It looks like just staying there and flooding the whole place horribly.
That center variegated blue square looks like a warm cuddly blanket. I love this piece. Your seasons are so pretty. I look forward to seeing them in a quilt.
I love the idea of the daily stitch. Are you just “winging it” on some of the designs or are there ideas in the directions?
Your four seasons embroideries look so nice together. I especially like how you’ve used an appropriate colour to match the season. I look forward to seeing how you finish them off! Sarah quilting by the sea
Beautiful stitcheries, Diann. They will look great as a quilt. Your daily stitching looks like a fun project.
Those 4 seasons are so pretty!!
as are all the other stitches you got to!
Your changing seasons pieces will make a pretty little quilt. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. You COL is looking so good, too. I enjoy hearing your story behind each block.
Hi Diann, your seasonal embroideries are so cute! Well done on the daily stitching - I've added a couple of squares in my this week :-) See you Saturday for our October house!
Seasons come, seasons go ... but your stitcheries are here for always and they are beautiful. Nice job, Diane.
Lovely seasonal stitches.
Congrats on finishing all 4 seasons! I just love that middle blue section of your daily doodles. Have a great week.
