		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been getting on with this Illuminated Floral stumpwork panel by Alison Cole, and it&#8217;s really starting to look good, now. The stems of the star flowers (on the far left) have been stitched in chain stitch &#8211; the pansy stems (centre) in split back stitch, and also the forget-me-not stems (on the far right).

I&#8217;ve decided I want to do some patchwork, which I haven&#8217;t done since I was 15 (shockingly, I realised that&#8217;s 35 years ago). Back then, there were no such things as rotary cutters and self-healing mats.
