I've got an idea of the kind of thing I'd like to make for Mother's Day but can't quite thrash it out in my head (and DH and the kids are useless - he says "sounds nice" to anything I suggest, and kids go "ooh, can we stick pipe cleaners on it" to anything I suggest :o)
So, was hoping I could grab some ideas from you all.
I was thinking of making a cushion with white and red fabric, but don't want to be too cheesy, so not a heart shape or anything. Was thinking maybe of making a predominantly white cushion with red patchwork (so made up of various reds) heart in the middle? Or do I go for a plain patchwork cushion, simple strips and squares of patchwork? Do I embroider anything on it? Was thinking of doing a small '123 years so far..." thing somewhere not very obvious (as she's been a mum to me and my sisters for 123 cumulative years so far) or, or, or...
Or is that all a bit crappy? In fact, it doesn't need to be red at all, so scrap that as a prerequisite.
Thank you if you've stayed with me through these ramblings and any ideas will be truly welcome! :)
