It's quite smaller than I thought, but it took long time to finish, whew...
After I framed, I run to post office with my son and sent this out to my mum as belated Mother's Day gift, with some CDs!
I used ready-made frame which was in my stash, so it's not so good, as you can see it reflections...
But she called me as soon as it arrived to her, and told me she does like it so much, and sounded that I made her day brighten up!
Now I feel relief and am very glad to hear that she liked it!
This time I used overdyed threads, as my mum likes the reulst by stitching overdyed threads, but I'm not used to stitching with them, that's why it took time so long until complition.
The recommends colours seemed totally different with the sample photo, so I changed some colours.
And primary, there should be three hearts buttons besides the word "MOTHER", but I didn't have recommended hearts buttons nor suitable one for this design, so I stitched pink hearts instead of atattching the buttons!
If I disclose my real motive, now I'm giving a sigh of relief...
I like this design and wanted to present it for my mum very much though, to stitch along this was actually not so fun... (lol)
Now I can change my mind and can try another project! Yahoo!
Next one? It probably be "Biscornu" for May challenge (Monthly Finishing Challenge)!
Or another thing, now I just want to make small one, something like pinkeep or thread keeper!

I think it's absolutely lovely Yuko! I love the changes you made as well :o) No wonder your mother was pleased.
What a beautiful finish Yuko!
Lovely gift for your Mum! To me, there is nothing better than something made lovingly by hand.
The gift for your mother turned out beautiful Yuko, and I am sure it made her very happy! You did beautiful stitching, as always, and I like your stitched hearts instead of the buttons!
Bet your mum was thrilled, it looks gorgeous!!
Yuko, how funny. I made the same thing for my mom for Mother's Day. I forgot to take a picture of mine though. Maybe this weekend. Harvest Basket looks nothing as pictured! I used WDW Chestnut and Hazelnut for my browns and I liked how it turned out. I like your stitched pink hearts!
What a lucky mum you have, that is such a beautiful gift!
Happy mother's day to your mother from France !!
The gift you've sent her is very beautiful, congrats.
I love stitching with overdyed threads too :-))

Wow, it's beautifully done. The pink hearts you've stitched in place of the buttons are just nice. It just looks like it's part of the design. It's so pretty, no wonder your mom is so delighted.
That's a beautiful gift for your Mum. Well done!!
What a beautiful gift for your mum - I am sure she was absolutely delighted - well done Yuko
It sounds as though you made your mother's day with this beautiful gift, and I'm sure she would have understood it arriving late after seeing the effort you've gone to. It's absolutely lovely and the frame suits it well.
Will email you over the weekend for another chat!
What a lovely gift for your mother!
Very beautiful stitching and elegant finishing! Your mother must be proud of you.

Dear Yuko,
what a wonderful gift had you made for your Mum, she will like it very much, I am sure!
I like the pattern of Bent Creek very much too, but I don't have anyone, I don't know why...?
Wish you a happy weekend with sunny moments
