    Flowers aren't only really beautiful but each type holds a hidden meaning - it's like discovering a secret code. In Victorian times people would send bouquets with carefully selected flowers to reveal a special message - the red rose represents love, and the white chrysanthemum stands for truth. I think it's so romantic! In this sampler you can stitch six gorgeous blooms - from affection to true love, you can tell someone just how you feel about them. But if you're short on time, why not choose just one flower to make into a card? This cross stitch pattern is stitched on evenweave, which is a lovely fabric to use, but remember to work each stitch over two horizontal and vertical threads.
