Spring is my favorite time of year. Every time I am amazed at how beautifully nature presents itself. Within a few days, after rain and sunshine, you can see the landscape change. The yellow-green of the young leaves appears.

The first spring flowers are suddenly blooming again. The little lambs jump into the meadow. So young, so young, so beautiful. It challenges you to do more outdoor activities again. Spring begins. This makes me happy.
And that’s why, I’m celebrating spring…

A gorgeous piece Elfriede, I really like your colour combination, its so fresh and new like springtime.
As an aspiring gardener, I love this piece. I even recognize a few of those insects despite living in a different climate! I can appreciate the immense amount of work that went into the needleturn and embroidery, and what an outcome!
Prachtig Elfriede, een onverwacht genoegen!
It’s lovely that expresses the joy of celebrating spring! I, too, feel a sense of excitement as I welcome the spring flowers.
So beautiful!! Is that hand stitched needle turned applique?
Yes, Martha it‘s hand needle turned applique. A lot of work.
