Stitches from the Garden



 Stitches from the Garden is almost here! Just in time for all things spring.  

Last spring I moved my studio to a room with windows looking out onto our backyard.  Watching all of the green leaves pop out and the buds opening up, I was inspired to design this book.  

I wanted to share my love for painting in this book too.  With a happy heart, I set out to paint little nature scenes along with some of my favorite garden quotes.


Original painting included in the book.
 The process of designing projects for the finished embroidery pieces usually starts with a rough sketch.  Keeping the theme of a garden sketch book, I have included these project sketches in the book as well.  I hope you enjoy seeing the process and inspiration that created this book!

The way toward planning ventures for the completed weaving pieces typically begins with an unpleasant outline. Keeping the subject of a garden outline book, I have incorporated these venture draws in the book too. Cosplay Leather Jacket IdealJackets
