Spring Blooms In The Snow (Hug #3)

Do you remember this terrible peek I gave you last week? Not much of a peek was it? I wonder if you guessed what it was going to be.
Perhaps the backing fabric will give you a clue. Beautiful poppies.
On the front deep red poppies, sitting in a milk pail.
Although you see me using a huge amount of pink, I must admit that red is my all time favorite color.
I think I'm going to have a hard time parting with this one, but that's ok. I have plans to make another one.
This one's going to Valerie's friend in Nashville.
As we are still snowed in, all the parcels will need to wait until the weekend to be mailed.
One hug left to reveal and then it's back to the PIF's and my regular stitching.

If you noticed Saturday's post I was asking for help finding linen/cotton mix fabric. Thanks to Stephanie who pointed me to Jackie, who just happens to be about the only stockist of Essex fabric in the US.
Finally I want to wish my gorgeous girl a happy 20th birthday. I'm so proud of you Hollie, you've overcome some huge obstacles, which have made you the beautiful young woman you are today.

Happy birthday sweetie, I love you. Mum xxx

Happy Stitching.
Linda
