I'm guessing this will be the last new work of 2021, perhaps with a nod to the flowers blooming in 2022.
A gal can really get hooked on chicken scratch embroidery! Some might call it boring, but even though it's super time consuming, I find it relaxing.

I can see how you can get hooked on this embroidery. Simple, graphic, lovely! Worth the time.
Wow, so pretty. Did you do this on a quilted background or is that the print on the fabric? Explain chicken scratch embroidery, what is that?
In answer to Carole's question. The background is a subtle print....looks like peeling paint. It was not quilted.....rather very small stitches using 1 strand of DMC embroidery floss cover the entire background. It was stiched on a non-fusible Pellon interfacing rather than batting.
