Guinea Flower

I love Australian Native Flowers, they seem to hide away until the weather conditions are perfect and then they surprise with gorgeous colour and intricate detail when you look at them in detail.

When I found out DHs aunty was turning 70, I decided to dig out a bookmark kit and stitch it for her.  She is a lover of Australian Natives and so this Guinea Flower design was perfect for her.  Did I mention that she is also an avid reader?

When finished, it was wrapped in gorgeous native flower paper and put inside a card from an Aussie artist, then posted.

Obviously she liked it as I received a lovely e-mail from her thanking me.
