I painted my study/stitching space a beautiful pale blue when we moved in 15 years ago. I've never tired of the colour - it's a lovely backdrop for my stitched models, vintage tins, needle-felted creatures (the stabbing is very therapeutic 😂) and many, many books. And so I was very happy to find that the pale blue linen I used for my Water Garden Sampler was almost exactly the same colour as my walls! 💙 . So this sampler now hangs next to my desk as a reminder of walking through gardens and picnicking by water on hot summer days...perfect when it's cold, damp and grey outside 🌧🌨🌧 . And now the Water Garden Sampler is available as a digital download, so you can start stitching your own piece of summer immediately!
