Here they are:

This one I like. It's a nice simple pattern with good colours. It's about 12" by 8" or so.

This I'm not so thrilled with. There's less embroidery per inch of display, which is bigger maybe 18" by 12". And looking at the different types of stiches used, I'm thinking that it might have been a training kind of exercise as there are several different stitch types.

Weird...my mom has the same two pictures! Different color scheme but definitely the same pieces. Not sure where they are now, but I remember them from my childhood.
Small world, eh?
I'm not that surprised by that in the sense that I was pretty sure the pattern wasn't a Doris original. But it is curious that our mom's would have made the same patterns.

Maybe it's a Western Canada kinda thing! Long Prairie winters make people stitch-up funky looking flowers.
