Voice of the Garden
In my collection of tiny 19th century pattern books is a tiny random page with two floral borders, and it’s the basis and inspiration for this design. The border is a perfect fit for the verse and one or more of the three brass bee charms included in the chartpak. The framed models are stitched on linens and another on silk gauze (because I couldn’t NOT do that!) The berry is simply more of this sweet floral pattern for a lovely addition to your springtime garden pieces.
