Working on my stitched creation of the amazing vegetable garden at Chateau de Villandry in France. Sharing my patch of broccoli, cauliflower and Romanesco using French knots and loose stitches. Showing how I have wrapped beads with embroidery floss to create two varieties of pumpkins complete with vine. Then onto the cabbage patch featuring purple and green cabbages in alternating stripes. After that we make our way over to work in the strawberry patch with the biggest and juiciest strawberries you might have ever seen.
Plus your chance to nominate what you think I should include in my garden as there are lots of garden beds still to be tended.
And here’s a link to Melanie from purveyor of reclaimed textiles over on instagram where I have sourced a variety of threads and fabrics from her extensive collection: https://instagram.com/purveyor_of_reclaimed_textiles?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
