Mother's Day Gift Idea

I spent the day adding a gift suggestion to some of the listings in my Etsy shop. Etsy provides support and ideas for shop owners and I followed the suggestion to add ideas for gifting an item for Mother's Day. 

'Flowers and cushion stitch' and 'Rhodes and roses' pincushions

The embroidery patterns in my shop are all digital patterns. Most are for pincushions. Customers usually download the pattern, embroider it and make up the pincushion as the gift.

You could also print out the pattern so that the pattern itself becomes the gift and add the threads that are required.

Alternatively, print out the pattern and add a few other useful embroidery items as well. A packet of the recommended needles or a pair of embroidery scissors would make a welcome addition for your favourite embroiderer.

The patterns, thread and other requirements take up little space. They are ideal to take along as a small project on a long trip because everything can easily be tucked into your bag. Except the scissors if you are flying!

Visit my Etsy shop Lynlubell to see the patterns by clicking here. There are needlepoint or canvas work patterns, as well as pulled thread and Australian cross stitch.

Happy Mother's Day for Sunday 12th May!
