One of my French forum friends celebrates her birthday this month: Joce. Since she sent me some lovely gifts for my birthday, it was only natural that I should want to send a little package to celebrate HER birthday . . . and as Spring is in the air . . . Spring was the theme ^^ I sent her a few packets of seeds for her garden and finished off a cross stitched piece into a decorative plaque.
“Spring in my garden” (Barbara Ana) that I stitched as a SAL – laced onto cardboard with wadding underneath, some chequered green ribbon around the edge and two little “yoyo” flowers made from the same fabric I used for backing.
Beautiful finish!!
thank you Carla ^^
Oooh that’s lovely, and very spring-y! How did you make the fabric flowers?
made the flowers with a plastic thingy called a yoyo maker. They come in different shapes and sizes. I have the round 30mm one
