What a wonderful and very beautiful memento of your mother! I'm not surprised you find it an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

I'm sorry KK but I am just catching up with this thread, you have done so much and it is coming along beautifully, you have so mush patience and I know it will be very special to you
The flowers your Mum did are lovely too, I am not surprised it took her 5 years to complete especially with 2 small children.

I showed this to my OH and he could not believe that it was a stitched picture. Well done it is coming on a treat.
