Spring Flowers

The promise of Spring has been in the air, though today is wet, cold and grey!
We need a little colour....


Is this bright enough to bring a little cheer? My beautiful daughter has spent months stitching away in her free time.


She seems to share my love of hexagons, stitched by hand over papers, the traditional way.

She stitched together 14 rows, 161 flowers, 1127 hexagons. I can't imagine how many tiny little stitches were needed to make up this gorgeous lap quilt.


The finished top was tie quilted onto sky blue, polka dot fleece to make it super snuggly, then she stitched all the way around the edge.

It sits on her chair in the window, brightening my days. I will have to make the most of both of them before they both go off to university later in the year.


Wishing you a lovely weekend and a special Mother's Day to all Mums on Sunday. xx
