The Thread & Treadle Shoppe

❤️

This lovely embroidery features a wonderful poppy being visited by a bee. This is the design of noted embroidery artist Helen M. Stevens.

Most of Helen's designs use just one stitch: the backstitch. As a result, her designs are approachable by confident beginners right up to experienced embroiderers.
