Embroidered pictures and panels
Embroidered pictures and panels are always popular ways to display textile art in the home.
Ruth's panels are worked in various techniques, but especially surface stitchery, using classic hand embroidery stitches, and free machine embroidery for larger pieces.

This sumptuous panel was based on a photograph of an iris growing in Ruth’s garden. The 3D petals are all attached at the base only, following the form of the real flower.
This large panel was inspired by a postcard of a botanical illustration by J. Edwards. Unlike a drawing, the petals are all separate and can overlap and move, bringing the flower to life.
Inspired by ivy growing on her garden wall, this panel is based on photographs taken by Ruth. The vivid leaves form a striking contrast with the cool grey of the wall.
