A Little Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, I finished up the last Block on the second row... "Septemeber"....  here's a snap.

... this square is all about education, I was the third in my family to graduate from East Carolina University...  so I put the years my Grandmother, my parents and when I graduated...  I shifted lots of the floss to Purple and Gold - they are the school colors, the tree looks kind of like a long needle pine tree, which is all over Eastern NC so I left it alone, I changed up the house to a "Carolina Blue" color, which is a reference to UNC where I did Graduate work... so it's sort of an ode to North Carolina and Higher Education!  Here are the specific changes I made:

 I stitched the Quaker motifs on the left and the Algerian Eyes in CC Cappucino 

The Butterfly is stitched using GAST Ye Olde Gold, Old Purple Paint, and Butternut Squash

The Heart on the right is stitched using GAST Berry Cobbler and CC Queen Bee

The House is CC Rain Shower

The Bricks on the house are GAST Pomegranate

CC Tufted Yellow I changed to GAST Shaker White

The numbers and letters are all GAST Ole Purple Paint
