#026 Cottage Garden Sampler
Completely worked in all silk threads, the lower entrance
to the cottage garden is through the little trellised gate set in a white picket fence,
overgrown with tall delphinium, lupines, and buttercups. A rambling vine of sweet peas
tumbles over the trellis overhead. Then you walk by a multitude of Victorian garden beds
filled with pretty flowers, grassy areas, hedges and little white fences, until you reach
the lovely stylized little English cottage in the distance. It has a thatched roof and old
fashioned roses climbing over the front door under the eaves and is surrounded by herbs
and flowers. A delight of textures and techniques for the experienced stitcher, this
Learning Sampler is ideal for the beginning specialty stitcher! You will have a chance to
stitch the Scotch Stitch, the Gobelin Filling Stitch, French Knot, Hemstitch, Ray Stitch,
Algerian Eye Pulled Stitch, Lazy Daisy, Sheaf Stitch, modified Diamond Eye, Plait Stitch,
simple Hardanger with Dove's Eyes, Fly Stitch, Queen Stitch, Knit Stitch, Four Sided
Pulled Stitch, and Satin Stitches/Bargello! |
