Here is mine - my first attempt at any sort of crewel work. I didn't get past stem stitch really - even for the filling in the tomatoes and the horse. However I ventured out with laid stitches for the jockey's pants, boots and hat and a sort of trellis for his colours. I found crewel wool very satisfying to use but I did over handle the piece a bit and it become a bit 'fluffy' in places.
