Heart's Garden

Here is a garden you can enjoy all year round!  The inspiration for this design comes from some of the wonderful flowers (and a butterfly) native to Florida.  Stitch count is 182 wide x 197 high and the model is stitched with one strand of thread over two strands of linen.  Special thanks to Chris Canaday for stitching the model and to Acorns & Threads for finishing and framing.

The model is stitched on 40 count "Bambi" linen from xJudesign.  This is a very lightly mottled neutral fabric and the closest DMC equivalent is 3864.
