Wild Lilies

I think I have mentioned in previous posts that I had kitted all of the Blackbird Designs Reward of Merit Pincushions, I believe going on ten years ago now. I love this series, and think that I have all of them.

My kits includes the linen piece and the threads, as well as finishing fabric that I found and even some trims. I take so much enjoyment out of picking out which one I am going to start stitching after I have finished one. I sometimes pick different people who are important to me for the initials. Sometimes I have picked my own initials. For this one, I am picking a "J" for my Auntie Janice. She sadly passed in 2019. She was the most regal, kind person. Her birthday was in May, and I know that she liked lilies (it is also the birthday flower for May.), so I decided to stitch the "J" on this in her honor.

The colors on this are so beautiful. I will certainly post progress pictures on this one.
