The hollyhocks seem to be fading quicker this year but still as beautiful and dreamy as ever. They never cease to amaze me with their wide ranging palette of colours. #hollyhocks #garden #gardening #inspiration

This is the first time in ages that I haven’t grown sunflowers in my garden. Difficulties with germination, slugs and squirrels means I’ve been marvelling at other people’s sunflowers while creating my own needle felted versions. #hobbzdesigns #sunflowers #textileart sunflowerart

A beautifully, gentle way to see every morning. Thank you.

It’s been a long time since I had a go at free-motion embroidery. Only creating grass stems so can’t really go too far wrong can I? This was me experimenting for a bigger piece I’m making. #hobbzdesigns #textileart #machineembroidery #freemotionembroidery #wipart
