Marion Eaton worked this Honiton sampler. (See the diagram below the photo)
Marion explains how she
decided on the various fillings to use.
The pattern for this Honiton mat is in one of Elsie Luxton’s books. After working the flowers and leaves I was left trying to work out what fillings to use.Liz Trebble suggested photocopying the pricking and colouring in the areas around the flowers to see what the effect would be if the fillings were either all the same or all different.
I decided to keep the fillings identical going into the centre as this gives gave the effect of petals
