I’ve got the completed Plantagenet Wreath panel back from the picture framer, and I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out:
‘Plantagenet Wreath’ framed embroidery
And a detail, just because I like it:

Beautiful! That background color works so well. 🙂
Beautiful embroidery as always; now for red roses on a white background. Which I’m sure you probably won’t want to tackle. I’m looking forward to your next project.
I might do the Lancastrian version one day, but not quite yet!
Very impressive!
Beautiful . . . artistically lush and botanically recognizable at the same time!
Is the frame glassed? If so (if you mind my asking, ignore this), how is the glass spaced out from the embroidery?
Thanks Sandy! It isn’t glassed, no. There’s also a layer of wadding between the fabric and the board it’s stretched onto, to give it a bit of extra softness, so it sticks forward of the inner edge of the frame a little.
Ruth, that is beautiful. I have done some embroidery but nothing like that. Beautiful.
