‘ ‘Tis Spring, come out to ramble the hilly brakes around,
and under thorn and bramble, above the hollow ground
The primroses are found…’
A.E. Housman, The Lent Lily
Do not be intimidated by those leaves! They are just straight stitches really and actually quite simple to stitch, it just takes some time. The finished embroidery is roughly 14cm / 5 1/2″ square, and looks beautiful framed in this antique French frame. Sometimes I have these for sale in The Rummage Room.
