Oh look what I found in my mother's things!
Pretty pink fuchsias!
Growing up there were fuchsias growing alongside our home. I always thought they looked like ballerinas.
When going through some of my mother's things, I found this lovely stitched piece. I did not even remember her stitching them. Maybe she stitched them as a gift for me...knowing how much I would love them. Especially because I love the colors.
I found this pretty frame in the bargain bin of my frame shop and I had my favorite lady, Donna pick out this lovely suede mat (which looks darker in this picture, and not near as pretty as it REALLY is). I wanted her to cut the mat to match the designs in the frame somewhat. So we played on her computer and came up with this. I just love it.
I'm sure my mum is smiling from Heaven...

Very pretty results!
What a lovely and very moving story. I can 'feel' the love from the picture-and know your Mum is delighted with your shared creativity and her gift finding it's way to you... You've done a wonderful job of honouring that connection with your elegant finishing of this sweet piece.
there is something so special about mums...their teaching love, their warm giving of life--across the waves of transcendent bliss--we can only glimpse their greatness and forever be changed and taught...you have honored your mum! So artistic, so delightful, wonderful! hugs from ~Tim Kavi
Lovely framing on this piece. So nice to have something that your Mom stitching hanging up.
