Look closely at the tiny fairy flowers of London Pride Saxifraga x Urbium and you’ll see a stunningly beautiful flower that grows as a groundcover with a mass of pale pink rosettes. This delicate little design can be stitched on a crazy quilt, wearable item, tote bag or framed and mounted on a CD.

London Pride (saxifraga urbium) is a small pink flower which grew on bomb sites during World War II. During the Blitz, Noel Coward honored it with a defiant song on behalf of all Londoners. The Latin word saxifraga means literally "stone-breaker", from Latin saxum ("rock" or "stone") + frangere ("to break"). It is actually thought to indicate a medicinal use for treatment of kidney stones, rather than breaking rocks apart!

Design: 4” x 4” on 8” x 8” fabric
