Crafts: Flowers

More cross stitch patterns from Canada today. I picked up this pattern on the 2002 Holland America Canada and New England cruise--the one where we visited Prince Edward Island, among many other places (Boston, Quebec, Montreal, Novia Scotia, Maine). I believe they are Lupin flowers and were blooming all over P.E.I. and thus became part of my memories of visiting Green Gables. I didn't get around to stitching this pattern until the next year, when I saw similar flowers in Colorado.

As usual with my cross stitching, I wanted to do something with the finished piece besides frame it. As usual, I had to get my mother to make a pillow. Thank you again, Mom--and thank you for the help getting my own sewing machine!
