A thousand tiny stitches

At the moment I see to be spending all my time stitching tiny running stitches on this embroidered panel.

I'm mainly using threads that have been dyed with plants from the garden and a bit of natural linen which is finer for contrast.

The fabric I used - a worn out damask linen tablecloth - is very floppy. That makes it easy to stitch but I do worry a little about whether it will have enough heft to hang straight on the wall.
