Hereabouts there are true blue wild flowers in bloom, like the chicory below, and clouds of butterflies, some of which were also blue. But too swift for me to photograph.

The experiment that began here seems to have developed a life of its own.  That&#8217;s a good thing, I think. This little block started life last week around the full moon and had me wondering about walking on moonlit paths, beneath  a starry sky. It seems appropriate to show it today, on the autumn equinox [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=threadspider.wordpress.com&blog=3189814&post=698&subd=threadspider&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Pursuing the pathways of pleated silk saw a journey into a dark, dahlia red corner. The gold silk stitches are running past little patches of flowers and leaves, autumn gardens on either side, full of russet and mulberry colours. Autumn comes creeping.
