About MeTurquoise linen panel with appliqued linen toadstools and snail outlined in buttonhole stitch. Here embroidery stitches have been used to highlight details and emphasise the outlines. The choice of colours and simple design are indicative of the new approach to embroidery and needlework fostered in the art schools and courses of the time; an approach which lifted embroidery from the domestic to a creative and artistic medium.
