On a bit of a roll today - that's me achieved three and photographed them all! The builders in the field next door were giving me funny looks as I stood by the French windows in our bedroom looking at the ground to photograph them! It's a great place to photograph as the carpet is boringly neutral and there is bags of light and relatively few toys/games/children's books to clear out the way to take the pictures.
For those of you interested in the techniques, this is hand dyed fabric, with free machine stitching in four different shades, with a made silver braid couched on top. Sorry if you're not that excited by the stitching technical details, but for many people who stitch, it is the first thing they are interested in rather than the design or concept or colours. They want to know 'how'.
