Here's my inspiration: https://needlepoint.com/blue-hydrangea-18193.html. I started out in a different direction with this hydrangea and it wasn't going my way so I ended up with this...it's ok but not what I was hoping for..oh well...another Valentine to send.

The soft old-fashioned script in the bg is so perfect with this hydrangea ( maybe because they always remind me of my grandmother) I like the addition of the lilac bow too that pulls just that hint of purple from the blossom.

Polly, you couldn't have ended up with anything better. This is gorgeous and the color so vibrant. I love it and great job with the inspiration. The lacy border is so gorgeous.
