Well, that’s Golden Thyme stitched. I don’t like the whip stitch around the leaves – it looks like I did it with my eyes shut but the book illustration leaves look much the same so perhaps I achieved what Shachiko intended in her design. Watercress is next, with seeds in a pod. Should be interesting!

I see what you mean, but on the other had it does look like variagated thyme.

I did find images that showed both to have this pale outside border but I’m still not happy with the whip-stitch method.I did consider using fabric paint at one point and might still do so!
