I was just looking at the traditional grandmothers Flower Garden Pattern. I was thinking about using a small version of that pieced as a border with a Grandmother's poem of some sort in the center and use the SunBonnet Sam/Sues around that with the names and dates under each. I tend to get a little carried away, so I guess it depends on when she needs it, don't know that yet either. I love to applique!

I was thinking different flower blocks with names/date embroidered in them. Or a big center panel of a bouquet of flowers with names in borders or different basket blocks.
Of course the traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden or Grandmother's Fan would be beautiful if you have the time to complete.
