Module 9 of my City & Guilds course we had free reign to design anything. A bit intimidating at first but I knew I wanted to make a useful object (as the next module required us to make a wall hanging).

Looking back at the designs I’d created in previous modules I came up with an abstract floral design with each ‘flower’ stitched in a different way. I also loved perfecting my woven picot stitches to create the leaves.

The design I created, the piece in progress and the finished item are below. I love how this turned out.
