The beat of the drum

 may be too loud.

That's a tall piece.  The sewing gauge leaning on it is six inches, this is about 7.5 without the top.


The second part would be shorter, but this one is quite tall and I'm not sure I like it.  I could leave more margin at the seam adding some width which may balance its size.  

I think I will search for a small to work on until I have a decision.  Right now, as I have done to many other samplers, fringe the bottom, hem the sides, pin to a cabinet door.

We loaded a few corn stalk bundles in the car while yakking with the owner who was working outside.  We've purchased our corn and bird seed from there for many years.  I went inside to pay while feeling so sad for the kittens in the tiny cages waiting for adoption.  I was surprised at the bill.  We paid around 2.50 last year, this year double.

We may get a thunderstorm!  Haven't had any all summer, and when this one passes I will wash windows and decorate the front.  It is dark so soon now, and I'm mumbling obscenities.  Crabasses have an extended vocabulary of profanities.

Happy stitching!

At first glance I, too, thought it might be too tall for a drum...but the idea grew on me. It would be unique. Not everyone could pull off a drum finish of that size but given your precision in finishing, I bet it would be a statement piece. Still trying to find the right fabric for the top of my (rather small) drum. (Ok, that's an excuse...) I was going to scoot across the road and pilfer a few corn stalks but they are so pathetic this year I would feel guilty taking food from the moos. (Yeah, weird, I know.) ~Robin~
