Looks like original Jacobean work, only - dare I say it - better.

Although I hate bugs this makes me smile, the flower when finished reminds me more of a pineapple!

Thank you Lovelies for your replies.

Another update, not done as much as I would usually do, life has been getting in the way recently. Still loving the colours and shapes in this one.

Aha! I see the Bug was actually a rather delightful flower!! :lol:

So bright and interesting. Well done! :wub:
:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Whenever I see antique 'samplers' and similar they are all so faded, but once upon a time they must have been as bright and vibrant as this is! 8)
This looks like it will become an Heirloom. :dance:
