I've been playing with this design for a couple of weeks, adding fractional stitches and "french knots" until I liked the look of it. The basic design is two poppies which can be built up into a border (with or without mirroring) or made into a square like this one. I enlarged the design by about 10% because I wanted to stitch it in cotton thread. I've just added a red fabric border and may well continue doing this to make a cushion cover.

There are lots of beautiful wild flowers around at the moment for inspiration. Wild roses and bindweed are next on my list.
