Stitching time (estimate)
≈ 7–14 hours per design
That's roughly 2–3 weeks at about 5 hours of stitching a week. Just a rough idea: we assume an average of 100–200 stitches an hour, and everyone stitches at their own pace.
Christmas gift ideas →Four small botanical studies in the style of an old natural-history plate: a red amanita with moss and leaves, dried lavender under a glass cloche, a rose-winged moth over a leafy swag and a little bouquet of roses, a daisy, lavender and forget-me-nots. They share one muted vintage palette and sepia outline, so they hang together beautifully as a set.
