On Friday night, a voracious storm barreled through town. Rumbling thunder, continuous flashing lightning, and torrential rains. Oh, but that's not all. We were also blessed with dime and quarter sized hail.
The upside is that after over a week of dripping humidity and 90-100F temps, the storm dissipated both. Yesterday was a beautiful autumn day with no humidity and temps in the mid 70's.
STITCHY STUFF
The mailart piece I mentioned last week has been delivered to its new home. That means I can show the fruits of my labor. Yay!

After finishing Summer Splendor (see previous post), I decided to pull out Japanese Garden and work on it for a while. Huh. Is it really true that I haven't worked on it since April? Here's what it looked like then:

gorgeous japanese garden. I still not have found the courage to start Watergarden...
Very pretty mail art Meari..
The mailart piece looks wonderful! Japanese Garden is beautiful, looking forward to seeing more of it.
We got the heavy rain(without the hail) to cool things down up here too.
Your mail art is done so well. Japanese Garden looks lovely.
Enjoyed reading your blog - I've never seen mail art before - very cool.
Blessings, Donna
Lovely stitchy post! I'm still debating whether to get the JCS cd. JG is looking awesome!
Very nice stitching! As always. Glad that the weather has finally cooled off a little for you.
Japanese Garden is beautiful!!! Love the mail art you stitched. It is beautiful. I am sure whoever received it loves it too.
Hopefully you didn't have any damage from the hail storm.

What keeps you going on Japanese Garden??
Meari,
All we have been getting for the last month is humidity. No rain, nothing. I don't mind the hot temperatures. The humidity has to go. My Menopause doesn't like it!
You did a great job on the mailart piece.
I also purchased the JCS Collection. I love it.
Japanese Garden is looking lovely.
Sommet Splendor came out great! I love the fabric you used. The mail art is beautiful. You do beautiful stitching. Great progress on Japanese Garden
I hope you have a garage...dimpled darlings (car with lots of dings) are expensive to repair!
Thanks for pulling out the Japanese Garden...I've been waiting. Great job.

My goodness, the hail pieces would almost make ice cubes!! The mailart is beautiful! You are making great progress on your Japanese Garden.
Your mail art is beautiful and glad you brought out the Japanese Garden to stitch on.

Your stitched postcard is lovely, the fabric trim goes so well with the design! Great progress on your WIP too :)
That hail is huge, I hope that it didn't cause any damage. Lovely stitching progress!
The mail art is amazing! I have seen you do these before, they look so beautiful. I imagine it is a lot of work. Thank you for sharing the photos of all of your beautiful work! Looks like Mother Nature was harsh last week, glad the hail did not cause any damage.
Loved your updates & finish. That quilt is stunning!
Mare
Your finish turned out great and I love those Mail Art pieces. I bought the JCS CD and love it!
Love your mail art:) Is that actually an envelope stitched? I’m trying to comprehend how that works, doesn’t it get dirty or soiled going thru delivery process?

Oh, my, what a storm!! That is huge hail...
Your mailart is wonderful--so glad you are finding lots of good projects in the JCS Collection. Nice to see an update on Japanese Garden, too--it really is a beauty.
Enjoy your fall, Meari--hope you get some perfect sunny days :)
Those chunks of hail look like paperweights! Crazy weather for us too...so humid. Love the mailart and have thought about making one, but I'm too chicken! I wouldn't want it to go missing!! The collection of JCS mags must be great! Does it include the Christmas issues? JG looks wonderful!! Hugs!
Your mail art is beautiful, you are a pro.
Japanese garden is coming up beautifully
