Lavender Fields


'By farmland and fields where lavenders sway...
Honey bees gather and butterflies play...
Where laughter and love is all that you know...
There lives a young girl named Verity Hope.'
 
This pretty little embroidery is perfect for embroidering in a 6" hoop.

It uses very basic embroidery stitches, extra long stitch and short stitch.


It is very quick and easy and ideal for a novice or those more experienced needleworkers wishing to do quick, relaxing armchair project.


It is stitched using six strands of embroidery thread and cotton perle no. 5 in order to create a puffy textured effect. This of course can be customised to your own liking.
