Today's Flowers #77
My flowers today are not real but representations. My mother was a skilled needlewoman and produced many lovely things in her lifetime.
The first photograph is of roses. There was quite a lot of gold thread in it; metallic threads are very difficult to work with - they twist and knot, or separate, and it is hard to create even stitches.
The third embroidery is bright and cheerful. My parents loved gardening and their garden was always filled with colour and interest which attracted birds and insects.
