One of the earliest signs of spring are daffodils shooting up from the ground. When I see them, I know that the cold and darkness of winter is nearly behind me and beautiful flowers of all types and colors are on their way. Upon seeing a field of daffodils on an early spring walk one day, I knew what my next "repeating motif" design needed to be. This series involves a motif that is stitched over and over, but with careful placement of thread colors, an image emerges.
