Since I didn’t have a plan for the embroidery on my buffalo collage, I put the threads and a couple of pattern books next to my place on the couch. When I watched TV, I also picked up my needle and thread. Hey, if buffalo can roam, so can my stitching. This is what I had by the end of the week.
Most of the stitches came from one of my crazy quilt pattern books.
The stencil is probably an auroch, but that’s close enough for me
The backing comes from leftover pieces in my collection of High Plains and Southwest fabric.
I might add more embroidery later, but for now I’m auditioning beads in my new sorting container, which is the carry-out shell from the really cool cupcake place downtown, Cake Delight. When I finally finish the piece, I’m heading back there for my celebration treat.
Luck and wisdom!

Any excuse for cake is okay with me.
