Through tumbling leaves and grassy meadows full of flowers, the hares run.
This beautiful design was inspired by my love of the countryside, botanicals and the seasons that offer us an ever changing landscape.
This project is whimsical, folksy and primitive in design, and incorporates my love of mixing different fabric types and hand stitching techniques.
I use a mixture of cottons and hand dyed woven wool, and include my favourite past times of hand appliqué, embroidery and English paper piecing.
Finished size 40 x 46 inches.
