A Nest of Inspiring Threads

My Blue and Green Stitchery Finished with the Embellishment of Yarns, Wooden Beads, and Classic Embroidered Stitches-

I can see a Small White stockinged Foot in a Green Silk Shoe walking through a Garden of Flowers and Grass

Threads and Beads like these put me in mind of Rooms in India - a Country that is not afraid of a little Color-!
