Wooden Box Lid Continued

Regular readers will know that I have recently finished stitching a lid for my wooden box. I chose a striking design in a variegated red thread. I liked the design in itself but I was very disappointed with it as the lid for my box. 

I decided to try again. 

This time I chose to stitch an extract from a design that is taken from the Country Diary of An Edwardian Lady. I've just finished it. See below. 

The next stage is to wash it, pad it and insert it into the wooden box as the lid. I do hope that I like it this time! 

Fingers crossed...
