Cottage Garden Embroidery - finally finished!

Yesterday in class I put the final stitches in my cottage garden embroidery. The original inspiration was our cottage and how I would like the garden to look.
I did a very crude drawing, including Jasper of course!
and then spent the last few weeks embroidering it
I had so much fun using simple embroidery stitches and these bright 1930's colours
