Fall is Here

It seems especially fitting that 'Falling' is finished on this first day of September - the month I associate with the beginning of autumn. I have handstitched the rain, using a variegated thread that reminds me of how sometimes when I look out of the window to see if it is raining, it's hard to tell unless I look from a certain angle or in a particular spot. In some places, the raindrops are more visable than in others. The pinwheel is quilted stitch in the ditch and the leaves with free motion.
