The best sort of mail

.....arrived in my letterbox today.  This absolutely gorgeous pattern...a very generous giveaway from Katrina on her blog, akiwistitching, after she had stitched it for herself.  Katrina does the most wonderful stitching.

                  

I immediately thought that my Mum would love it..it is in colours that she loves and also the violets are a favourite flower.  Now to gather the supplies...and get started.  Thank you so very much, Katrina..
