Bloom Where You Are Planted

Hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside Linens and flosses from The Gentle Art combine in this charming design featuring sampler-inspired motifs. An undulating border anchors the sentiment, while a vase filled with blooms in shades of blue takes center stage, begging to be added to your stitching basket.
