I wish I could say this is my work...
Once again, it is one of my lucky finds in a re-sale shop. Would you believe $6.00?
Daisies are often depicted in Medieval meadow paintings, known as "flowery mead". Can you see, in this design, the natural flow of the flowers growing in a meadow?
Not only is the crewel embroidery beautiful, but the 16" x 16" frame is very unusual. It is real wood with carved designs on all four sides.
I love daisies....embroidered or growing in my garden.

I love the daisy, too. You found a real treasure.
ReplyDeleteI do see the flow, Meggie. Beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty Meggie.Daisies remind me of childhood, we used to make daisy chains to wear round our necks!
ReplyDeleteDaisies were one of Kelly's favorite flowers and this post brought back so many memories. When she graduated from college, she asked me to decorate her mortar board with them. Love your find and your garden:-D XOXO
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the girl's name Daisy is seeing a resurgence as well!
ReplyDeleteI love daisies and I love yours too. They are such a simple, refreshing flower. The daisy/marguerite is the flower of an organization that I belong too. The picture is very nice and what a find at $6.00!!!
ReplyDeleteThe simplicity of the daisy never fails to delight. What a beautiful find, Meggie. I wonder how old it is, and who created it.
ReplyDeleteOh Meggie, that is lovely! I LOVE daisies, too!
