The Fiberactions group challenge this time was to work with a limited palette of two colors plus black. The two colors were to begin with the initials of your first and last name. After brainstorming a long list of colors meeting that criteria, I decided on sapphire and chartreuse. I also decided to limit myself to working on a black background, using only fabrics from my scrap bag.
Chartreuse immediately steered me toward a leafy scene, inspired by my walks along the beach here at home.

| After fusing all the leaf and grass shapes, I joined the units with black sashing strips and got ready to stitch. |
 |
| Beading sounded like fun, and I spent several days adding sparkle to the scene. |

Do stop by the
