A Field of Flowers

I've been sick the entire summer, and my productivity has suffered. I've worked on a few things here and there, but don't have much to show for it, except this:

The pattern is by Floresita, from Feeling Stitchy.  The inspiration for it was also from Floresita -- she introduced me to Linladan, a delightful online shop that specializes in reproductions of vintage Swedish embroidery patterns, stitched with linen threads on linen fabric. I have not yet been able to buy a kit of my own, but I have some of DMC's linen threads (now discontinued) and linen fabric from an old skirt.

The simple but varied embroidery stitches were a nice change of pace from all the cross-stitching and quilting I've been doing.
