This book has been on my wishlist forever!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the gerbera daisy. The bold, bright colors and fleshy stems just make me happy. I cannot see a bouquet of gerberas and stay pouty.
My favorite flower is daisy! Because it's so sweet and cute and simple. It's a symbol of childhood innocence, loyal love, beauty and patience. Making an embroidery is an art of patience, it needs a loyal love, to create something with beauty. That's why I love daisies.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flower? That's more difficult than it sounds. I want to say tulip, because they are just starting to poke up in my garden, but I also love sunflowers because they absolutely scream summer! Such a tough decision...........tulip!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flowers are Hollyhocks, my especial favourite is one called Apple Blossom.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flower is the tulip!
ReplyDeleteI love dahlias. They are my favorite
ReplyDeleteLooks like another great book.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flower is love-in-the-mist. I love the fairy like quality of their feathery leaves.
My favorite flower is the forget-me-not. Such a sweet small blue and yellow flower!
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers! For me, nothing can compare with their big brown faces and golden halo...the book looks excellent, thankyou for the chance:)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win kittykill. My favorite flower is the wild violet.
ReplyDeleteHi - I would say my favorite flower is the African violet. When I was a little girl my mom had an entire east kitchen window filled with potted violets in old cottage cheese containers, some wrapped in colored tin foil. A close second choice would be a white geranium. By the way, I do love Alicia and read her blog faithfully!
ReplyDeleteoops, my e-mail - clarenceandoliver@yahoo.com
DeleteOoh, what a great giveaway! My favorite flower is usually whatever bouquet my boyfriend brings home, but lately, I'd have to say my favorite flower is the classic gardenia.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the Tulip. I just think they are so sweet and someday, I would love to grow them in my yard. For now I will settle for stitched tulips....which is a pretty nice alternative. loriginsberg@juno.com

DeleteOh, I've been lusting after this book for a while! My favourite flower is the rose, though picking one variety is far too difficult for me. Let's just say "old garden roses", the hardy old types with a fragrance heady enough to make you feel a bit tipsy. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity!

(in norwegian). And it reminds me of the warm summer holidays I used to spend at my grandparents. This was a really nice giveaway question!
