Embroidered Garden or 3D Picture Birds
“I love the birds in my garden and each time a different species comes along I add it to my patchwork garden.”
Why not bring your patchwork background along and spend 2 days of relaxing hand sewing adding a garden bird, or two, to your own beautiful background.
These can be raised or flat and can be labeled (Sarah will bring her old typewriter with her)
Or create just a life like picture of your chosen bird.
Look forward to seeing your garden patchworks.
