Valentine's Day cards

Poppies for Emelie; Tulips for Shirley; 
and Daisies for Leslie.
These motifs are designs of Leslie Teare which 
were published in Cross Stitch Gold magazine.

With Valentine's Day coming up, I wanted to get some cross stitch motifs ready for cards. Last year I didn't have time, and made machine embroidery cards. I liked them, but am glad to have made the cross stitch ones this year. I made 7 cards. Two are for Leslie and Emelie and their husbands; one is for a dear friend; and 4 are for the grandchildren (even one for Valentin who is only a little over a month old). 

"Love" for Iris; Bluebird for Sonja; Bear for
Julia (chart by Durene Jones); and owl for Valentin
(chart by Stickeule).
