summer embroidery

I was so inspired yesterday evening, sitting in the garden and looking at all the pretty flowers to get out some linen and some embroidery thread and sew some flowers.  I haven't really done any/much freehand embroidery as such before (I used to do a lot of cross stitch), but I think this works.  No marks were made on the linen!

Aquilegias are definitely one of my favourite flowers from this time of year :-)
