November 2021 - Camellia pattern
Researching flowers that bloom in the winter, I came across the camellia. I chose to stitch this design in a gorgeous bright pink and this colour of camellias symbolise longing for or missing someone.

August 2021 - Cornflower pattern
There is a roundabout nearby that has the most beautiful selection of wildflowers growing on it. Red poppies, white daisies, cow parsley, buttercups and a pop of blue cornflowers. I could have chosen any of them for this month’s pattern but I love the shape of the cornflowers.

June 2021 - Rose pattern
I took a photo 20 years ago in Portland, Oregon in the rose test gardens where they grow hundreds of varieties of roses. It was thinking back to that trip and seeing all the roses in bloom that made me pick roses as the theme for June's free pattern.

Looking back through the photos on my phone from last year I had snapped a picture of some snowdrops and felt drawn to make this into an embroidery.
