A journal where I share my adventures developing a food forest based on permaculture principles. I also share my love of knitting here. For my life as a textile artist follow me at lesleyturnerart.com
During fall and I was entranced by the Maple's colours.
I decided to stitch the colours I saw.

Hi Lesley, It seems to me that the trees have spoken just by being. Why don't you try to speak the same way: thread fifty needles with your favourite colours, then blindfold yourself, and just stitch on your own cloth. Allow anything to happen. Tangled threads and so on. Incidently I met you in Ottawa when the Capraras did their workshop. I was the one working with rust. I did manage to get my Diploma before the school closed. I still remember the lovely homage to Julia on your blog. Such a wonderful lady. I cherish those days with her. Joanne in Ontario
