Swedish inspiration

In the summer I started this wool work cushion cover and at last I have finished it! I temporarily lost the bag of wool but found it and completed the stitching this weekend. It was inspired by seeing a lot of folk art in Sweden though not copied from anything directly, in fact I made it up as I went along which is my usual way of working. It will become a cushion cover though what possessed me to work on to a dark colour when I have a white cat I do not know. I had forgotten how nice it was to work with wool on wool and it has made me think I must definitely repeat my Wool Work course this Autumn.
