There is so much detail for a 2-inch square. I LOVE the way you made the wall and the path. The gate is wonderful!

Thanks. I had some size 13 seed beads which just fitted the size of the gate. I love doing these as they are so quick to do, on my 7th today, then gonna try a Twinchie puzzle, printed out a picture in 4" square and cut it up into 4 Twinchies so it will fit together when done. Got to make sure it all fits together when done.

Thanks, Felt and beads. The stones at bottom are bits of shell.

Love your beautiful work. I, too, am an Autumn gal so I especially appreciate the colors.

Lots of detail in this one Suzy, well done.

Thanks. I feel the weather and colours of Autumn are the best of the year, Summer is too hot, Winter too cold. Spring is tolerable just, but often a bit too wet and cold still.

Will have to try a twinchie one of these days. You sure pack a lot into a little space.

You don't have too, anything that is 2" square is allowed, one of mine is a straight mushroom embroidery. Number 5 I think. Will do more of those too, but my main love is the flower, cottage, wall, thing. The 6th I just finished has a more complicated cottage and the one I'm on now number 7 has one too, I might have gone too complicated on this one as it doesn't seem as right as it could be to me, but I'm my worse critic.

I once saw someone do a whole one with fabric with flowers on it and just enhance it with embroidery. So anything goes. I like the speed of them, my 4-5" pieces took months to do these are almost 2 a week. And every one if different, even if I used the same picture it would never turn out the same, its how I think of it at that time that makes what it will turn out like, and when finished I can see how I'd change it if was starting it again.
