Back, finally, from a somewhat fraught trip to London. We arrived right into the middle of London Fashion Week, and all Covent Garden was full of lissom creatures wearing the most extraordinary clothes, followed through the streets by packs of photographers with huge cameras slung round their necks. I thought that London might be quiet in the middle of February, but no such luck - the streets were simply heaving with people, mostly tourists. I had hoped to have a look at the David Hockney exhibition, but even in the middle of the week there was a six-hour wait to get in, and there are limits to my enthusiasm for Hockney! So I consoled myself with visits to Tate Britain, Leighton House Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Queen’s Galleries and other old favorites
I arrived back home with a terrible cold, and there’s been no time to organise a new freebie, so here’s (yet) another one from the archives. It’s from a series I did a LONG time ago, with motifs “on point”: that is, diamond-shaped motifs. It’s a 4x4 inch (100mm x 100mm) hoop, and it’s embroidery only (no applique)
Hi Mia, Sounds like you had a great time in London, even though you were not able to do all of the things you wanted to do. Thank you for the beautiful Fresh Flowers design! Love the colors you used, but I can see that it lends itself to using any color combination. Hope you have a Great St. Patrick's Day!

Hi Mia, Thanks for the freebie love the colors stitched out on plain muslin. Sounds like another trip to London will have to be planned since you didn't get to see everything you hoped to see. Take care of that cold and thanks again for another beautiful freebie.

Mia, so sorry you didn't get to see everything that you wanted to see in London. Take care of yourself and get over that cold. Nasty time of the year to get one. Love your unique flowers. Thank you for sharing them with us.
