Grandmother's Flower Garden

While away, I thought I'd share another cross stitch project with you, from the same book this one came from.

This one hangs in my bedroom because it goes with the blocks on a quilt my mother gave us for a wedding gift.

My mom found the flower garden blocks at a yard sale many years ago and created a bright flower garden just for me and DH. My cat loves curling up in the sun on it, or hiding amid the pillows in his own little cave--just like on my blog header!

Smiles,

  1. This is fantastic work. I use to do a lot of cross stitch. I did one on linen once before children. Once they came I could never get it to work right. I should try again now that they are grown. I love your cat. What is his name? My cat is Max and he loves the bed too. Some days he prefers to be way in the back of my closet.

  12. I am impressed with the cross stitch. I never have the patience to finish one. A stamped one of course, I could never count it myself! Great work!
