Last year for the tour I did a detailed embroidery of a street scene, it took a long time to stitch, this year I didn’t have as much time and had to think of a simpler design, I ended up playing around with the bike design, making it a bit smaller and repeating it in different colours.

To adapt this cadfael design to my sampler I had to simplify the lines, I also turned it upside down because it looked visually better that way.
