So many things inspired the Ladies Garden Journal series, from my Grandmother's flower gardens to early 20th century periodicals, but I have always had a soft spot for Edwardian gardening journals. Every time I would see one, I would think, "How can I turn that into cross stitch?" Here is your answer! So, take a stitching walk with me through a whimsical garden and meet the flowers that live there.

Is there a friendlier flower than Johnny Jump Up? He bids you a "Good Day" whenever you see him, always with a smile upon his "face" and when you invite him & his friends into your garden, the party never ceases, so many happy faces!!

Ask your favorite needlework shop about the Ladies Garden Journal Finishing Kit, so you can turn your needle-sketches into your own gardening journal.
