Obviously Roberta’s birthday doesn’t fall anywhere near winter even on the Prairies but it was the second-to-last card in the book and I didn’t want to wait for a winter birthday to make it. Maybe it was because I was making this card in the wrong season but I had problems with some sections of the design on this card. In the end, I followed the pattern up to a certain point and then did my own thing.

I had trouble getting the English paper-pieced edges correct so I used the centre of the flower and appliquéd it to a background. The floral fabric in the card is from Mum’s stash. The quilting is very light – just the appliqué stitches.
