The criteria I set for Lavender Farm was to show the stages of the flowers development. From small delicate petals, a single flower, a young plant in bud, a plant in full bloom, to rolling hills covered in hundreds of bushes of lavender. The lavender plants in my garden and the Bridestowe Lavender Estate farm where the inspiration for this design.
Lavender varieties have flowers in all tones of purple and soft pink.
Lavender Farm is finished into an oblong box cushion.

Every Monday afternoon a group of enthusiastic ladies meet to stitch and learn about embroidery.
This class started as a ‘learn embroidery stitches’ class and three years later we are all still learning (including the teacher). Threaded into a class of friendship and chatter the students work on projects of their own choice, stitching original freestyle embroidery, hardanger, crewel and counted needlepoint.
Finished items completed by the class have included dolls blankets, carry bag, foot stools, framed pieces, cushions/pillows, lids of trinket boxes, small table cloths and needle books.
