Dyeing Flower Trim

I'll be very sad if the 5/8″ Flower Trim featured in our Spring Catalog does not carry over to our 2013-2014 Catalog. I just love it and am using it in today's project. (In case you think I have missed something, I do know that Easter has passed, but I think this would make a perfect Mother's Day Card, so just change the sentiment and you're all set)!
