​Week 2
I incorporated the seed stitch, which I haven't used on paper in a while. A good reminder to myself that it's a great filler stitch when you have an empty spot that just needs a little something.

This week we had some gorgeous sunny autumn days just made for getting out and taking a walk. The colors were amazing! I gathered a few things during the walk and from my garden when I got home. Lovely to see all these colors represented in the collage I'm working on this month.

​Week 5
It was a joy working with these colors this month. I enjoyed comparing the colors of the collage to what was happening outside during my neighborhood walks and when checking in on the garden as the month progressed.

​I took the same approach as last month when using up the left over paper scraps, I created a Surprise Collage. The best part is seeing what little gems appear once you cut the full sheet into smaller pieces.
