Nicola has generously made these gorgeous Little Gems available for download now via our store. The PDF will be emailed to you within 24 hours or you can choose a printed copy.
We are delighted to present to you an original design by Sandra and Nicola. Both of us derive much pleasure from our gardens and share a love of flowers.
In our garden many flowers bloom,
Roses, tulips, forget-me-nots
And many others too.
The project is stitched with cross stitch over 2 strands of linen and has been rated as suitable for needle workers of all levels of ability and can be stitched either on Aida, Linaida, or linen.
We have finished the project into a drum but the little design would also be delightful as a framed sampler. Instructions for finishing into a drum are NOT included in the PDF.
Thread Legend
In Our Garden has been stitched with DMC threads from a palette of nine colours. We have provided conversions for Soie 100.3 and Soie d’Alger from Au Ver à Soie. Only one spool or skein of each colour is required with the exception of Soie d’Alger #934 when working with two threads on 32ct fabric or lower.

Two rosebuds are required to make one 3D rosebud. To create the two 3D rosebuds attached to the drum you will need to stitch four individual rosebuds. The design area is 17 stitches (w) x 27 stitches (h). Each of the four individual rosebuds requires a 2” margin for finishing. The sizes given below are for one individual rosebud. The size of your overall fabric will depend on how you lay the rosebuds out.
