Cross stitch and roses

There was a time I loved to stitch roses. I used to search for cross stitch patterns of roses. I stitched a few and presented them to friends and relatives. Now there are 2 in my possession. One is a cushion cover, the background is black. Here they are.

My mother who is 84 has come to stay with me. She was very good at crochet. I was able to learn crochet from her, but am not as good as her.
