Item: HLM-044
Type: Cross Stitch Patterns

Garden Rows is a beautiful antique piece from France that features rows of striped flowers and berries stitched on thick linen that has fold-finished edges. The fabric has begun to show its age and the stitching has a very nave charm. There is almost a full alphabet stitched backwards and forwards which adds to the character of this lovely piece. (this is a little hard to see because it was stitched in cream colored thread). It has been charted true to the original, but we invite to you stitch it however you'd like!

Stitched on Abecedarian Blend by R & R Reproductions (or Milk and Honey by Fiber on a Whim or Parchment by Weeks Dye Works) with DMC floss. The stitch count is 229 x 138 and the finished size is 11.45" x 6.9" on 40 count.

This piece calls for DMC cotton thread to closely match the original sampler. Although not necessary, I would recommend mixing two different shades of DMC thread for both the dark and light green colors (using two strands, one of each, to stitch).
