Embroidery Winter completed.

Hi,  I have completed the winter embroidery. I based the embroidery on a card I had drawn for my local church, All Saints. It was great fun to do and I incorporated a few different techniques. I stitched the foreground hellebore flowers (Christmas Rose) and the mistletoe in ribbon embroidery using beads as the berries. I machine embroidered some of the holly leaves on soluble fabric and stitched others in ribbon. The background holly, mistletoe, hellebore and ivy were embroidered in embroidery cottons using a variety of stitches. The church in snow completes the embroidery. I stitched the church in embroidery cottons using a variety of stitches. The wood effect flexi hoop works well as a frame and the work is backed with felt. I had great fun designing and stitching the embroidery. On to the next project.
