I bought this unfinished from eBay ....I’m slowly unpicking it. I’m going to make it using appliqué, machine and hand embroidery. It would be quicker to use the pattern and a new piece of linen but I like the orange coarse background

It’s a caravan project... easy to pick up and work on.

You are a brave lady.  It looks very complex, and the hand sewing would be a no-no for me, but I will look forward to seeing your progress.

That is going to look stunning! You must have a lot of patience, I love hand sewing, but that looks too much for me! Please keep us posted with your progress xx
