Beautiful!! It's a such a lovely gift. Well done, mum's going to be delighted with it!!

It's great Sarah - I'm sure your Mum will love it

The daffodils and the poem are so perfect together!

Thanks for all the lovely comments, everyone.

Agi, how nice that this inspired you to do your illustrated verses too.

Gorgeous, the mat picks up / sets off the colours so well!

It's beautiful Sarah. Your Mum is going to love it.

That will make an awesome present, congrats on the finish!

I forgot to update this!

I was intending to keep it for Mother's Day, but I was excited to give it to my Mum so I gave it to her for her birthday in February instead.

She cried over it, as it's her favourite poem and the fact that I'd put so much effort into forming the words from the little alphabet and stitching it and everything. She normally takes my work to the framing shop for me too, so she knows how much stitchy stuff and framing costs and she was overwhelmed with it.

It's now hanging in pride of place at the top of her stairs where there is a little narrow window. Sunlight comes through for about an hour in the mornings and lights up the daffodils.

Sounds like a wonderful spot for it! I'm really glad your mom liked it

It's really great to see people appreciate the effort and uniqueness of a stitched gift, so I'm happy fore you and your proud mother!

I'm glad you gift was so valued. Such a wonderful gifting memory makes stitching very worthwhile!
