Orchids panel

The contemporary formal beauty of a spray of orchids formed the basis for this design, its symmetry reflecting both the delicacy and precision of Ruth’s work.

Technical details

Entirely hand embroidered, Orchids is worked in shaded long and short stitch using stranded cotton.  It was stitched onto a sheer fabric, then carefully cut out and applied to a background of ivory velvet.
