Tomato Thursday

This time of year we celebrate, if we are lucky, the bounty of the tomato. 

While we've had a tough time with a cold, wet growing season, the Farmers' Market has come through with dozens of ripe, colorful varieties.  

I thought this was an appropriate September stitch!

Design - "Tangy Tomato"

Designer - Ewe & Eye & Friends

Fabric - 40 count Sandstone

Fibers - Anchor & GAST

Started - 11 September 2010

Completed - 15 September 2010

As simple as this chart may appear, I had "counting issues" and ended up adding to the horizontal border to better center the tomato.  I also changed the color of the tomato to GAST Simply Shaker "Tomato" - how could I not use that color?

This was some of the bounty at our Farmers' Market on Saturday.

Luscious paste and sandwich tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes...

and heirloom varieties.
