but that's as far as I got. So today when I saw the CAS313 I was totally excited to be able to put the two together, because Flowers are Spring to me.
When I was very young we lived next to a woods in northern WI. By the time it was April, I was always in the woods digging in the snow looking for what we called Mayflowers. I went every day looking until they bloomed and then brought a fistfull down to Mom.
I still love flowers that much and have a box of these that I embroider to use as embellishments. I may have to replenish. I glued them on and then sewed around the edges to make sure they stay.
I added the piercing with the sewing machine as I can get it straighter that way. Doesn't look as cool as my inspiration, but sure was fun to make and gives hope that Spring IS actually coming this year.

So wonderfully different. Reminds me of the old fashioned embroidery samplers you see on shows like Antiques Roadshow. I wish I had paid more attention in sewing lessons - my embroidery skills need much work. Lovely welcome to Spring.
