The parlour was a striking room even by the standards of Penhallick House. The Morris paper on the walls held a dense pattern of leaves and clusters of flowers in red and blue and yellow, woven through with thorny tendrils studded with tinier flowers in startling white. It filled the walls in wide panels between dark, carved wood that stretched from the floor and formed arching ribs where it met the ceiling.

William Morris and John Henry Dearle’s Cock Pheasant stitched by UndefinedHeight. Pattern ($3.24) designed by WllmsCo.

“Two years and 100 000 stitches later! Not sure what to do with my life now. Pattern is by WllmsCo on Etsy.

I’ve been working nonstop on this for two years and now I’m excited by all the possibilities 😍 It’s gonna be displayed on my mom’s bedroom wall.

It’s actually only five different shades of green floss. I think I used about 25 shades for the entire piece, which feels like very few for such a big piece, but that’s what the pattern said 🤷🏻‍♀️”
