Flowers without Weeding

If you are eager to have flowers without all the work of gardening, Needlepoint Etc. offers Raymond Crawford's flower squares, complete with stitch guides from Alison Hodgkins.

These were a monthly club at A Stitch in Time Needlework but now are more widely available.  Very pretty!
