Description

Seagulls cry and breezes blow in this delightful Seaside Garden Sampler. Stitched using many colours of silk flosses, overdyed silks and cottons blended with soft blue metallic on Miracle Mint linen, this Sampler is a coastal addition to the Victorian Garden series. You can enter the garden at the bottom of the sampler, through the old wooden fence beside the shade of a pine tree. An ship s anchor leans against the fence, on the piling is a seagull waiting for a handout, and a boat sails past the wharf in the distance. In the foreground are the beach grasses and small wildflowers and a shady pine tree. Walk along the path, sniffing the salty breezes, and enjoy the seashells and starfish lying on the soft sandy soil. Only hardy plants survive so close to the beach. On the far point of land at the top of the sampler, there are some beautiful rockgardens, and a beacon on the lighthouse which calls sailors safely into harbour. This Learning Sampler is perfect for the beginner through intermediate specialty stitcher. You will practice an interesting variety of stitches: French Knots, Backstitches, Satin Stitches, some Pulled Thread Bands, Fern Stitches, Eyelet Stitches, and Cross Stitches over one fabric thread for that petit point look! Take some time to walk along the beach and build a few sandcastles near this refreshing Seaside Garden! – Thea
