This scene with Sunbonnet Sue is off-season. It is obviously winter and cold (in Japan anyway) right now. Summer, though, was hot and LONG. This made the fad of battery-operated and handheld fans stretch long into autumn.
I made the picture a long time ago, but didn't use it. #345 Barred Buttonhole Wheel Stitch was the perfect stitch to depict the fan, and thus the picture is a memory of this year's prolonged Indian Summer.
Being glued to the smartphone's screen and showing off a tattoo are also fads or modern trends, but have no seasons! So is triple-tasking; surely Sue is doing sit-ups too!
This has been a very warm autumn so this could have taken place not long ago. The stitches fit the design.
ReplyDeleteSit ups, looking at her smartphone and holding a fan, I don't think I could do it. It's cold here too and we had a good summer for the UK.
ReplyDeleteVery luxurious and yes, triple tasking is going on!!!
ReplyDeleteGood use of the various stitches.
I would never have thought of it, but that is a perfect use of Barred Buttonhole Wheel!
ReplyDeletePlease tell Sue to be careful not to drop the handy fan. There is a risk of ignition.💥
ReplyDeleteYou continually amaze me with the way you put the stitches together. Sue sure is talented! I don't think I could do all of that at the same time!
