A Card and a Flower

I so much enjoyed making this card using fabrics and embroidery for my Mum for her birthday.

Embroidering the little squares was a relaxing experience that gave me time to contemplate all the things my Mum means to me.

Putting together the patchwork was fun.

I also crocheted my Mum this flower.

Like me her favourite colour is yellow.  The petals are lovely and lacey - they keep their shape with wire.

The pattern comes from an Italian blog called Lana e Cotone.  You can see the pattern, here, - and it's free.

I do so love making and giving.
