The hexies are all sewn together! The floral is for the backing.
I'm deciding between the greens, teal and browns for the border.
I think the binding will be the berry color.
What do you think?
this was some freebie thing from an ebay seller from whom I got a really spectacular number of fantastic unmounted images ages ago (unmarked obviously, but suspected leavenworth jackson, ken brown, and some of my super damn favorite ones ever).
I'd always just been meh about these but I'm gonna finally mount them and try 'em out, but I wanted to preserve the details of the sheet just, you know, in case it ever came in handy.
This sheep is part of a small flock at Moulton in Norfolk.
The Border Leicester is a polled, long-wool sheep and is considered a dual-purpose breed as it is reared both for meat and for wool. The sheep are large but docile.
The Border Leicester was developed in 1767 in Northumberland, England. Their name derives from the fact that their birthplace is near the Scottish border with their foundation stock being Dishley Leicester rams.
The Dishley Leicester was created and bred by Robert Bakewell (1726-1795) by crossing the old Lincolnshire breed with the Leicestershire type sheep. The Dishley Leicester became very popular with local farmers. George and Mathew Culley bought some of Robert Bakewell's Dishley Leicesters and the breed was soon found on both sides of the border. Around the 1830's two distinct types of Dishley Leicesters were developing on the two sides of the border. The Culley brothers were crossing their sheep with Teeswater sheep while other farmers in different areas along the border were crossing with Cheviots. This variation in the breed resulted in the two being nicknamed 'bluecaps' and 'redlegs'. Many farmers preferred the hardier redlegs and around 1850 this variation of the Dishley Leicester became known as the Border Leicester. They were a fairly common breed in the UK by the 19th. century.
Registered flocks are now found in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Border Leicester sheep have been exported to Australia in 1871, British Guiana, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Hungary, India, Iran, Japan, New Zealand in 1859, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United States, where the first breed association was formed in 1888, and Yugoslavia.
Border Leicester's are all white with a distinct long body, well-developed chest, well-sprung ribs and a wide, strong back. The nose should be black and the ears should be large, upright and alert. Feet should also be dark in colour. The head and legs should be free of wool and only covered in short white hair making it easier for shearing. Sheep of this breed should also have a distinct 'Roman' nose
The weight of a mature Border Leicester ram is in the range of 309 to 386 lb. (140 to 175 kg) and a mature ewe 200 to 260 lb. (90 to 120 kg). A yearling ewe is around 141 lb. (64 kg).
Their white wool tends to be very long and is prized by spinners because of its crimp and lustre. Sheep are normally shorn twice a year when the wool has reached a length of around 3.9 in. (100 mm). Lambs yield an average of 4 lb. (1.8 kg) of wool, yearlings may yield 7.1 lb. (3.2 kg) at each shearing.
The Border Leicester is an excellent breed for farmers. They produce good milk and are good mothers with a lambing percentage of about 150%. Lambs finish quickly due to their high growth rate and produce high quality, desirable meat. The breed is also hardy and easy to keep and manage.

On any list of 'smartest dog breeds,' border collies always come out on top. But smart doesn't always mean easily trained, or willing to please. Smart can just mean what it always means, and that is having a capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc. (from dictionary.com)
Einstein was smart. So was Leonardo Da Vinci, Marie Curie, Plato and Sofia Kovalevskaya to name a few. Now we're talking brain cells on level I can't even comprehend. On my best day, plenty of sleep and hydration, I don't think I could grasp meanings better than any of those people, even today, when they're all dead.
So when people say stuff like, "Oh, my dog is really smart! He's the smartest dog ever," they MUST be talking in terms of dog smart, and not people smart. Because come on, they're dogs.
Well, except of course, MY dog, Pete. He is really smart! He's the smartest dog ever. Which is really annoying because it's been my move for a long time now and I only have my king left.
My first Metra-Pace trip to Gurnee; many hours including a canceled (!) 2pm return train, which was never announced to the 100+ passengers waiting at Waukegan (station's closed then). Also, if you do a 4 1/2 hour (actually 7 with having to take the 4pm train) round trip, make sure you haven't forgotten your bank card, or you'll have to put back a few good books. Oops!
In a flap. A moth that rarely sits with wings open. Not that it's exactly sitting. Another of my favourites.

I was thinking the light grey crosshatch for a small border, and then the green seeds for the binding?
Right now the top is 24 x 14 - if I add a border, it would make it about 28 x 18.
Should I skip the border and just do binding?
I lied. More scanned in photos for your viewing pleasure. This is the northern border of Papua New Guinea with Indonesia (Irian Jaya / West Papua province). I'm in PNG looking west, the border is on the top of the hill.

It took me just a few minutes short of two hours to cross. The US immigration at Tecate has only one lane open and are closing it at 2 PM instead of 11 PM.
They are doing that, they say, to cut the possibility of coronavirus crossing the border. All it's doing is cramming all the normal traffic into one lane and cutting out 8 hours being open, consequently jamming all that traffic in a much shorter window to cross.

The Wagah border closing 'lowering of the flags' ceremony is a daily military practice that the security forces of India (Border Security Force) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) have jointly followed since 1959.[1] This ceremony takes place every evening before sunset at the Wagah border, which as part of the Grand Trunk Road was the only road link between these two countries before the opening of the Aman Setu in Kashmir in 1999. The ceremony starts with a blustering parade by the soldiers from both the sides, and ends up in the perfectly coordinated lowering of the two nations' flags.[2] It is called the beating retreat border ceremony on the international level. One infantryman (Jawan) stands at attention on each side of the gate. As the sun sets, the iron gates at the border are opened and the two flags are lowered simultaneously. The flags are folded and the ceremony ends with a retreat that involves a brusque handshake between soldiers from either side, followed by the closing of the gates again. The spectacle of the ceremony attracts many visitors from both sides of the border, as well as international tourists.
