Needle Expo 2021

 This is the first entry in a new "Tudor-inspired" series.  This design features a central bee with a surrounding of roses and honeycomb. 

This is the second of the "Tudor-inspired" designs so far.  The border was initially drawn from a chapel ceiling at Hampton Court palace, and the motif of the swan is very common in Tudor art (often symbolizing fidelity in love).

 The inspiration for this piece came from a profusion of wildflowers (although I've taken some poetic license with a few of them).  The text comes from a Canadian poet, Marjorie Pickthall, and her poem "Daisy Time."   

This is the newest in the Language of Flowers series.  In the depths of winter I always begin to dream of spring flowers.  This design comes from one of the meanings assigned to the Narcissus plant - "The sun shines when I'm with you." 

 So for this chart I have designed a group of spring flowers and trees.  The central feature is an enormous birdbath with ducks and ducklings, a swan and some cygnets.
