STITCHING IDEA
Stitch one of the daffodils or tulips on their own to go in
a gift tag card - perhaps to go with a bunch of daffodils
or tulips. Choose a simple silver frame, wrap it in tissue
paper and when Mother's Day is over, your mum can pop
the design into the frame and hang it on her wall to
enjoy all over again.
