Second Panel Done

I finished the embroidery on the second panel of my summer art quilt.

This panel was more meditative for me than the first one. After arranging the fabric elements I focused on the stitching, and improvised as I went along.

I wasn't thinking about anything in particular as I worked, but instead let go of that huge part of myself that always wants to plan everything. It was a good exercise in mindful needlework.

These are the pieces I'll be using for the third panel, which I'll start tomorrow.
