I have used an evenweave fabric which I sponge painted, then used a number of the stitches used in the module including herringbone, feather stitch, fly stitch, thorn stitch, fern stitch and roumanian stitch.
I tried to plan it out before I started, based on the photo, but my drawing lets me down and I ended up stitching it freehand as I went along. I didn't want an exact replica of the garden - more the general feel of it, which I think that I have achieved.Now I need to do a quick embroidery on winter, then finish all my comments and presentation before being able to send it off as planned next week.

Vicki, this is beautiful work. I like what you did as you stitched it out freehand. I think the path is much more interesting than the picture. The fabric looks wonderful, too. Thanks for posting.
Very nice interpretation!
well done hon, it's lovely, and then module 1 is finished. that must feel great! you need to spread it out on a bed or the floor and take a piccie of all of it before you send it, just to remind you how much you have achieved. Then when you start module 2 and feel right back at the beginning again you can look at it as a morale booster!
Thank you for your lovely comments - I like English Rose's idea about photographing all of module 1, it will also be a good record of what I have sent if there is any problem with the post, but also very encouraging. Thanks for the idea.
