I'm starting to see sunflowers all over, and realized this is because they are Ukraine's flower. As I write this, the invasion of Ukraine is still stalled. Hopefully diplomacy (or common decency) will prevail and the Russian army will retreat. To take this back to needlepoint, Carol Curtis Needlepoint Design has a lovely realistic sunflower.
Suzi of VNG has a sunflower fund raiser for Ukraine.
So does Pepperberry.
Judy Ann has added several small sunflower pieces to her Etsy store.
If you are fond of traditional needlepoint pillows, Beth Russell's pillow kit is gorgeous. It's also available with a green or paprika red background but we'll show the blue since yellow and blue are the Ukrainian flag colors.
Are you a fan of abstract art? Then this Zecca canvas of four sunflowers is going to be right up your alley.
The Meredith Collection has at least two sunflowers.
Mary Lake Thompson has a gorgeous sunflower boot for the Southwestern fans.
Want something smaller? This Abigail Cecile version is for you.

...a darling sunflower egg design.
The queen of floral needlepoint design is Jean Smith. This beauty is on 13 count.
Jean also has a very elegant sunflower topiary.
Patt of Patt and Lee has a large sunflower that's gorgeous. Change the teal background to blue and there you go.
Jody Valentine has several small sunflower ornaments.
If you are a fan of counted canvaswork, Laura Perin's "Ukrainian Eggs" is a fabulous design from a chart.
Laura has taken one of the eggs from "Ukrainian Eggs" and charted it for a free project. Thanks, Laura!

We stitch our hopes and dreams, don't we? We dream of peace in Ukraine. By the way, Tilli Thomas of Planet Earth has a new Ukrainian flag ornament that is a fund raiser for the brave soils there.
