Something to Crow About

Design - "Wee Rooster"
Designer - Heart in Hand
Fabric - 32 count Summer Khaki linen
Fibers - GAST & WDW
Started - 1 August 2010
Completed - 5 August 2010 

Something to crow about indeed!  I finished this up last evening.  I did change the border stitch - it called for using two threads, and I thought that looked too bulky.  So I changed to one thread - I think that has a more "detailed" look to the stitch.

 
If you allow a single "wild" verbascum (mullein) to grow and go so seed, this is what you get the following year!  It's too bad we are not raising mullein as a food crop!

Another hazy morning - according to the newspaper we are getting smoke from the large fire in Russia - it truly is a small world after all.
