I don't usually show my working, as it were, but from the front, you can barely see the progress in tying down the #TrellisCouching. So this gives me a marker.

Detail 6/n

Another detail of the border. I chose quite deliberately the order of the edging colours bracketing the blue. This shot shows dog rose and rose leaves (for the garden the Victorian renovation of Temple Church reburied William in), and gives a particularly clear view of the trellis couching. The stitching in the border is not classic opus anglicanum - I've used #FishboneStitch for the rose leaves, #LongAndShortStitch for the rose petals, and #FrenchKnots in their centres.
