This is something I made this year but it's okay to show because the person I gave it to already has it on display. The pattern is from Buttermilk Basin. I need a lot of practice on these normal kind of embroidery pieces. I'm getting better at French dots and stem stitch but other things leave something to be desired. I make a rough sketch on the cloth with a light board then fill in the details with my needle and thread. I find that works better for me than slavishly drawing every last detail on the fabric.
