This was inspired by Karen's vibrant flowers, and also Rosiepink's lovely meadow scenes and their helpful ebook on Creating Felt Artwork. For me it acts as a sort of sampler, to try out some machine and hand embroidery to embellish the flowers.
I am learning from my mistakes! I think the background should be clearer and less streaky. and another time I would not include such an expanse of empty sky.

I might make it into the front of a cushion.
