At last, I've made some great progress with my wall hanging and I guess I could almost call it finished.
It's a very 'busy' piece and it's knowing when to stop. I think it has enough on it now and it pretty much resembles the picture I had in my head.
I took this on a lovely sunny day but had still to add the little flowers in the bottom right corner.

I worked some hand embroidery on the flowers and dragonfly.

Hand embroidery and machine quilting detail.
Last to be added, were these little flowers which I made from tiny Suffolk puffs.
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, in fact my brother and sister have already tried to get me to part with it, but after all that hard work I think I will enjoy it myself for a while. I will pass it on eventually ( maybe!).
This week I will be working on my Bird of Paradise applique. It is almost ready for quilting and I can't wait to let you see it.
Have a great week whatever you are up to and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Rhianon.
