The Pimpernel Cushion -almost finished

Almost finished this Beth Russell adaptation of the 'Pimpernel Footstool'. Just a few more details to add, half a blue flower and a few stems which I only realized were not included when I studied pattern in relation to the washed and ironed piece and saw the omissions. I'll finish completely tonight and then work out how I will mount it.. a cushion, framed, or put together with another embroidery adapted from a Morris design, 'Orange Frieze'.

I am reminded of the well known quote of William Morris:



'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful' William Morris 1880
