English country garden

Hi again!
Here is a cushion I've made, appliqué sheep and clouds on a patchwork field background. The design was inspired by a picture I used to draw when I was at school. The sheep's bodies are silk, and their faces and legs are made of cotton velvet. All of the appliqué is secured with blanket stitch in matching colours of embroidery threads.
I might make another one with rabbits on it for a friend who loves her bunnies!
More soon,
Hailwood Handmades x
