Keeping busy on cold winter evenings. I think I must have started this embroidery about the end of November/beginning of December. I'm not sure whether it will remain as a scroll or I could display it as a wall hanging. I have used a length of cotton sheeting, backed with batting. Initially I included some appliquéd flowers from an old linen tablecloth and tried to completely fill in the background with various stitches. However, I didn't achieve the result I was hoping for, so changed to mainly using seed stitch between the motifs. There was no overall design plan, once I finish stitching one flower or plant, I search my sketchbooks for the next.
The fabric is 4" wide and so far I have completed 30" of the length, with another 12" to go.
