It pays to be a mom

I recently became a Floss Mom for the first time. I have a lovely daughter in the Netherlands to whom I sent her first shipment of floss a couple of weeks ago. As a thank you, she sent me a package of her gorgeous hand-dyed fabrics in ornament-cut size. They are very beautiful as you can see below.



One piece in particular is of a type I've never seen before. It's Aida, but in two different thread counts laid out in a checkerboard fashion. Have to figure out a good use for this one.



The enclosed card is lovely too. It's made with a quilted motif on top. Not sure if you can tell from the picture, but it's puffy, like a little raised pillow. I think it was made by my daughter's sister (who in real life would qualify as my daughter as well, but this is stitch-ville):



You can see more samples of my daughter's work on her blog, Miek. It's in Dutch, but pictures are the same in any language
