Southern Garden

“Southern Garden” is simply dripping with Southern charm, yet it contains many, many stitches for the avid stitcher! The inspiration for this lovely garden was a visit to Savannah with its many parklike ‘squares’ planned to be an integral part of the original city. At the top you can see the warehouses by the river as well as a riverboat. Moving down the sampler is created 24 ‘garden’ squares made of specialty stitches with a wee little frog included in the middle! At the bottom, you can see southern belles having mint juleps under the shade of a typical Live Oak tree beside some wrought iron fencing which you can find all throughout the South. You will learn many different stitches, the easy way! Satin Stitches, Double Running, Broad Crosses, Half Rhodes, Diamond Ray, Double Straight Crosses, Diagonal Butterfly, Double cross Eyelets, Algerian Eyelets, Chequer Filling, Bowtie, Arrow, Eyelet Flower, Fancy Brick, Modified Fern, Cloud Filling, Double Leviathan, Double Cross, Elongated Rhodes, Crossed Crosses, English, Bound Cross, Flower, Reversed Eyelet, Encroaching Stem, Expanded Ray, Four-Sided, Lazy Daisy, French Knots, Backstitches and Cross Stitches. Enjoy stitching this example of a lovely Southern Garden with true Southern hospitality.
