ReplyDeleteSo subtle, and I love the bunting
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh! I love this! You've done a wonderful job of illustrating the theme with simplicity and subtlety --- just fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Linda. This is so typically British - subtly understated. Says it all 'in the best possible taste'! Very clever way of portraying the flag and the bunting. Hilary
ReplyDeleteNice balance in your piece and nice quilting. I like the bunting waving as it does and the hint of the flag
ReplyDeleteThe color and contrast make your piece so effective as well as the quilting lines that give it movement! By Jove you've got it! :-)
