A woodland walk on Tuesday has inspired this collection of stumpwork motifs. Worked on fine crystal organza, the wired frames are filled with different plants: white ransoms (wild garlic) in lazy daisy stitch; bluebells in bullion knots and delicate fern fronds in French knots. The trick is to chose stitches that either look the same on the front and back or that the linking stitches on the reverse side add to the overall design.
Mounted on a log, the little frames make a lovely version of an old-fashioned nature table.
