Needlepoint

The field is organized into a grid of twenty-four octagonal medallions on a pale beige ground, each framed by black spandrels and holding a distinct botanical study - irises, sunflowers, hyacinths, poppies, violets, hydrangea, roses, daffodils, lilies, foxglove, and morning glories rendered in naturalistic color. A plain dark green border encloses the arrangement, with a narrow striped guard band just inside it. No two medallions repeat the same flower grouping, giving the overall composition the character of a botanical sampler.

Needlepoint

A repeating lattice of quatrefoil medallions in deep red, each enclosing a finely drawn rosette in ivory, blue and rust, alternates across the ground with star-shaped rosettes in blue, green and lavender that fill the interstices. The palette stays consistent throughout, ivory, moss green, slate blue and burgundy against a warm tan field, with a narrow plain border in soft camel enclosing the whole composition. The design reads as an unbroken all-over grid, cropped at the edges rather than resolved by a distinct border pattern.

Needlepoint

The deep blue ground is covered by a grid of large interlocking medallions, each composed of four lobed leaf forms in crimson red radiating around a small compass-star center, framed by ivory scrollwork and rings of gold and red beading. Smaller star-form roundels fill the interstices between the large medallions. The border is a continuous chain of quatrefoil cross forms in gold, ivory and red set against alternating blue and cream ground, echoing the palette of the field.
