Almost Finished, 4

This "Almost Finished" series is dragging itself out.
However, I have managed to squeeze in the time to finish the hand stitching on the center. I do like the look of the humble running stitch, which adds some depth to the machine embroidered flowers and leaves. Now I'm thinking that I'll have to machine quilt the "frame" so the appliqué will pop out a bit.

This is quite lovely - I love the palette and you're right the hand stitching works well with the rough edge appliques
