This embroidered pattern was inspired by a very tiny poppy growing from the crack in the pavement outside our house. (It should be open by tomorrow, I'm thinking- right now the closed bud measures about 2cms.) I started the design by scattering little poppies over card with watercolour paint, added some other flowers, wallpaper-style, then translated them to dark grey linen via needle and thread.
These all-over embroidered designs always take much longer than I think they might, but I do so enjoy working on them.
– I loved seeing these pictures of Fliss and her family in West Timor this morning. They make me want to go adventuring with the kids!
– Here you can find the marvellous Good Stuff: Holiday Guide by clever Pip. It makes for fun and colourful reading and you'll love it.
