Tansy – Another New-to-Me Flower in the Garden

The walls of “the barn” are covered in nails, which are the perfect spots to hang flowers to dry. These yellow flowers look like they would make nice dried flowers or cut flowers.

They look like Tansy to me and this botanical drawing seems to support it, but I’ve not been able to verify by looking through my books or at pictures online, so it’s time for another game of “Stacey doesn’t know what’s growing in the garden.” Any ideas about this fern-leaved plant with small yellow flowers?
