Lydia’s Rhapsody is a wool appliqué mat measuring 15½″ × 26½″, created in honor of my mother, Lydia, whose embroidered tablecloths inspired the design. Flowing floral motifs and gentle curves recall the beauty of those heirloom linens, while the hand-dyed wool brings warmth and texture to every petal and leaf. With its soft tones and timeless elegance, this project captures both the nostalgia of tradition and the joy of stitching something new to treasure.
