Very nice I need to find time for the challenge I have the time - organisation is my main problem - so many things I want to try I can't decide where to start.

Didn't you say you wanted to try dyeing soy, Judith? Maybe start there, or start with a photo for inspiration, then with the soy and maybe some wool to match?

OK, Ladies…we have only 3 weeks to go! I need to refresh my memory and re-read Marilyn’s original post on the 3rd qtr. challenge.

Can I 'cheat' by finding a photo that uses the colors I already have? I'm terrible at carding different colors and don't want to invest in the time and materials (yet) to dye.

Elizabeth - that will work. We aren't going to come and beat you up or anything if you "don't follow the rules". Actually, we try not to have too many rules. So go for it.

Ha ha, I had a similar idea, Elizabeth I was thinking of taking a photo of something with colours of recently dyed fibres!! Reverse colour challenge! I wonder if that would fit all of them?

I ended up being too literal. I chose a photo from a lovely trip I took in the spring with a friend, to photograph special,historic & mythical trees of Crete for a book she is writing. I wanted to use the muted natural colour palette of the rugged landscape & the flowering hawthorn tree: www.flickr.com/photos/62077747@N05/21687178901/
Then I decided I *would* keep the topic too (not in the brief, I know), as I could make a felt picture as a keepsake for my friend. I did add a little brown hill & a bluer sky, but tried to retain the tones of the greens as best I could (the picture is a little lighter than the photo shows):

PS Please don't laugh at my beginner's free-motion embroidery!

Oh yes from me too, it has a lovely magical quality about it, and infact it is quite painterly, I could image sitting under that tree with a good book and feeling completely at peace, I love your foray into free machnie embroidery too.
