Be a Blue Bonnet

Be a Blue Bonnet

"In a world of roses, be a sunflower"
BUT - this was first designed for a small class in Texas, so we have blue bonnets instead! No worries, a chart for the original sunflower adage is included too.

This is full of cheerful color and pops on that blue linen - but lots of neutrals, perhaps even a soft garden-like-green? The drum design could be finished flat or framed, and the companion berry features the blue bonnet and plenty of colorful wools in the top treatment.
