Spring snowdrops

What better way to brighten up the year ahead than with a fresh garden sampler? Diane's stylish snowdrop motifs look really elegant against a background of modern patchwork squares. She's chosen chalky thread shades to keep the effect soft, while the repeated patterns are fresh and funky for a contemporary look. If you're feeling adventurous you could try adding embellishments like buttons or ribbon bows, or even a little backstitch message for the recipient.
