Stitched Garden in a box - Watch my garden grow

This is the beginning of a lengthy project which I am developing with my leisure course students. We are on holiday at the moment but I will however be producing more work on the box. The pictures you see are of a stylised hydrangea done in stumpwork and stitched on to a machine embroidery background with the foundation of neutral coloured linen. This will form the lid. Follow my developments over the next few months to see how it matures.
