I decided to jump to early spring for this design and embroider a row of crocus flowers on a kitchen towel. I liked the yellow and green stripes on the towel and went with a yellow theme. It's titled Hello Spring . Did you know some people like to give crocus flowers on Valentine's Day rather than roses? There is a legend of St. Valentine, a physician, who was imprisoned and sentenced to death in Rome. One of his patients was the jailer's blind daughter. On the day of his execution he gave the jailer a note with a saffron crocus flower in it to give to his daughter. Upon opening the note she saw a flower for the first time, her eyesight was restored. This occurred on February 14. Find Hello Spring embroidery pattern here

I just found your blog and I love CGS! I saw the really cute wreath you designed for New Year's in 2011 and was wondering if it might be possible to get a copy of the chart, as it is no longer available on the Wichelt website. I like your tote tutorial and plan to make one. Thanks, Barbie
