Little embroidery

Starting to work on a new little embroidery for fun. The fabric is wonderful because both sides of it are different. I wanted to use the silver side, but then decided to use the back of the fabric instead, I like the muted bluey-grey tone. I haven't planned the design out at all, I just sew free-hand and whatever I feel like! I've been very inspired by medieval paintings and tapestries though and I keep coming back to the image of the garden and especially the walled garden in these works.

Here are some scans of a book on Medieval tapestries I've being inspired by recently:
