This cross-stitch by Ira Blount (1918-2020) contains colorful flowers, including roses, sunflowers, thistles, daffodils, and pansies. A green square frames each of the twelve blossoms, arranged in a grid of three rows and four columns. The muted color palette and off-white background create an old-fashioned aesthetic, recalling an earlier time when needlework was both practical and decorative.
