I love Sunflowers! Bright yellows and golds, surrounding the heart of the sunflower where the delicious seeds grow, they are some of my favorite flowers in a Harvest Garden. We've included detailed colour photos and finishing instructions for the pillow as well! Stitched with luscious over-dyed silks, ribbons, silk flosses, metallic, and sparkling beads, it is perfectly designed for the student. It is not too big, so you can more effectively learn how to stitch the few lovely specialty stitches like Bullion Knots, Triple Cross Stitches, and Silk Ribbon work; some Drawn Thread; and even a band of Pulled Thread work. Cross Stitched areas at the top and bottom depict a basket of Sunflowers just picked from the garden surrounding the sweet little cottage. You can finish stitching this little sampler in less than a week, although you may want to take a lot more time to fully enjoy the step-by-step journey to “Sunflower Street”. Savor your stitching! -Thea
