Embroidery for Daisy

My first niece was born in July 2014. Her name is Margherita, which means Daisy in Italian.
When her mamma announced us, of course I cried! I get very emotional for this kind of news!

When the time came to think of what present we were going to give her, I remembered how much I loved that little bag that my grandma made me when I was 5.
I used it to put all the extra need for school, and I still use it now days when I travel.

I wanted to give her something useful, that she could use all her life, and that kind of bag was just what I wanted for her!

I had recently bought a full rainbow of cotton embroidery threads and a hoop, and I was ready to test this new art freshly taught by my grandmother.







So I bought a white coton fabric, find the right font, drew her name in the very center, and carefully embroidered every letter and flower.

Here is the result, I'm pretty satisfied!
