Mother's Day motifs
I
t's time to give back
to the most important
woman in your life.
Show your mum just how
much you care with a
special handmade gift. Her
smile will be as bright as
the colours in these fresh
springtime projects – each
one requires only whole
cross stitches and a little
bit of backstitch, so you'll
be able to make as many
as you please before the
big day. Stitch her a card,
a snazzy badge or a sweet
mug cosy – then stitch a
few extra to give to the
other special mums in your
life this Mother's Day.
