Wild flowers of the Cotswolds in stitch.

I have been working on this piece for 3 years. Not continually but as July comes around and these flowers are on the ridge in the hay meadow close by. Finally finished it ! The flowers are cushion calamint, scabious, bladder campion, knapweed, ox-eye daisy, and lesser bindweed or convolvulus. The butterfly is a common blue or though they are not so common any more. It is 40 cm x 14 cm - so long and thin, not ideal for photography. Trying to finish a few summer pieces before we get deeply into Autumn.

 

Wild flowers of the Ridge.

 It's been a busy week with Hagis coming to stay. Lots of walks and play time because he does miss his family.

 Managed a little stitching on a long strip that records the flowers on the ridge I showed you last time. This is cushion calamint or wild basil and scabious next.
