The Light Upon the Lawn

This is the second of nine designs in the 2017 Loose Feathers series from Blackbird Designs.

The model was stitched on 36 count hand dyed 'Ale' linen from Picture This Plus using hand dyed cotton floss from Weeks Dye Works.

"This is the second pattern in the Loose Feather Series for 2017.

Alma tells us: "The title of this pattern is inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem, ‘A Light Exists in Spring. In the poem she speaks of the light in spring being colored differently than the rest of the year. I loved the idea of spring light awaiting on the lawn ... ready for us to come outside and view the landscape"

Previously: "We are framing all of them in the same frame as pictured above. We plan to hang all of them together on the wall. Each of the nine in the series, celebrates our fine feathered friends. We will release one each month until the series is completed. Each will be the same square size. The floss colors are from Weeks Dye Works and will all be in a similar colorway. The next linen used in the third design will be Oaken." Alma

"The floss colors are the same as last month's palette, and I think one set of floss should be enough to do two of these small samplers"
