The prairie flower installation project is "getting there". The first of the six panels left to get flowers was worked on today. This is the set-up in my studio to get the details placed so they flow into the surrounding panels.

Part of those details came from this box of yarns. They were a gift from a friend whose wife was an accomplished needlework woman.

I'm honored to received this supply of wonderful yarns and threads to work into my art pieces. Here are the ones used in this panel.

The next step is to add the layer of tulle and get the machine quilting done ... tomorrow.
It's coming along so beautifully, Nellie! I love your studio shots as well as your beautiful art and I can't wait to see this all finished!!!
