The material in this photograph is part of a panel of stitching on a duvet cover. I've always liked this feature since it looks quite different in daylight compared to its appearance in artificial light. It's the sort of embroidery that puts one in mind of medieval and early Renaissance needlework. Until you look closely that is, when you will then make out the back and forthmovement of a powered needle following and making the pattern of leaves and flowers.
