If I have chosen to propose you “Blue Garden” as a first guided work it’s not accidental.
Indeed, this is one of the first design proposed by Canevas Folies more than 10 years ago and still one of the most appreciated.
This is a good study that provides a series of basic stitches you will have the opportunity to practice throughout your various embroidery.
If you decide to try the adventure and realize this work with me here are some explanations.
I will post every week detailed instructions of a pattern with pictures, stitches details, and the list of threads used.
I welcome any questions you can ask me about the work in progress.
You can download the design in the menu Patterns under Patterns 2016. You can also buy the printed design with instructions and a thread pack in my Etsy shop CanevasFolies or the printed design with instructions but without threads in my shop online.

Good day. I’m a bit confused. Can I still get the pattern for ‘Blue Garden’ or ‘Garland’? I don’t think I need the threads, just the pattern.
Thank you,
Barb
