Mother’s Day cards

Filed under: Embroidery — Suzical @ 6:24 pm

Don’t forget it’s Mother’s Day here in the UK this Sunday!

My Mum and future Mother-in-law will be getting lovely Paperchase cards this year.. I have 75 more wedding invites to make and a scarf to knit, so am afraid for me it fell by the wayside. My colleague’s Mum and Mum-in-law will be getting Suzical cards, however – Sarah liked the Mole card so much she asked me to make some more..

A hyacinth for her mother-in-law (as her name means Hyacinth in french!) hyacinth.jpg

and a daffodil for Sarah’s mum: daffodil.jpg

Which I particularly proud of as my drawing is not the best! :-)

We have D’s Mum visiting for the weekend and are all going up to my sister’s for dinner on Sunday – to see my parents and Judith’s in-laws as well. Happy Mother’s Day to all you great Mum’s – hope you’re spoilt this weekend!

  1. The daffodil is very leaflike: I’m always amazed at how a few carefully drawn lines can look so realistic (well carefully sewn lines!)

  9. hello, i came across your blog when i was looking for daffodil patterns. i’m embroidering dresses for my second daughter who will be born sometime in March, God willing. i cant really do filling stitches and yours is the only one which i found which doesnt need to be filled, and i love it! is there any way you could email the pattern to me, or at least take a picture which shows the pattern from the top? i’m not really good at drawing either and since this picture is a bit slanted, i cant copy it exactly. thanks in advance! :)
