Evening Stroll Mosaics

Did you see that Rachel at Stitched in Color is hosting another mosaic contest, Dreaming at Dusk?  Her beautiful photograph collages never disappoint and she always has such a way with words to describe them, they almost transport you there.

All you need to do is create a 9-fabric mosaic by shopping at Lark Cottons and add your link(s) to the Dreaming at Dusk collection.

In the two mosaics I created, I thought about the colors found on an evening stroll around the yard.  You would think with fall already here, it would be a little cooler, but not the case.  It's still hot and very dry in South Carolina.

Evening Stroll Mosaic #1

Evening Stroll Mosaic #2

And here are the colors found on my evening stroll...

Hearts a' Bustin' (Euonymus americanus)

Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus)

Crepe Myrtle, newly transplanted and originally from my grandmother

Fading Phlox

Tall Phlox

Hydrangea also transplanted from my grandmother's

Our pecan tree is finally starting to bear

Leaves of the Sourwood  are starting to turn

I hope you enjoyed the evening stroll around the yard.  My mosaics along with those by others can be seen at Stitched in Color.  You have until Oct 2nd to enter a Dreaming at Dusk mosaic of your own and then voting will commence shortly after.

And since I do have some photographs to share, I'm linking to to the first time to Wandering Camera with Soma at Whims and Fancies.  I was experimenting with a new 50mm lens which I got for a steal in an open box special.


Happy Fall,
