☆☆☆☆☆ I absolutely love that these come with instructions and ideas. I am new to embroidery and these are fun, easy to follow and I've learn new stitch with each one I complete. - Sarah B
Garden Hen is a folk-art styled embroidery project with a colorful chicken and vegetables coming straight from the garden. There are radishes, turnips, lettuce and carrots--all to be embroidered with a variety of engaging stitch combinations. A plaid scalloped border evokes both fencing and the plaid of kitchen linens, and you'll enjoy layering colors and stitches to render it.
The pattern is designed to give you an absorbing embroidery project with a variety of classic stitches. Experienced needle crafters enjoy working a range of stitches, while beginners use the illustrated project guide to master this comfort craft for all generations.
