I love the color of the Dried Roses silk in this design, reminiscent of an autumn garden. This piece is fun to stitch, the rows are short and there is variety in the stitches. It was originally designed as a teaching piece for the Shepherd's Retreat 2002.

The design is embellished with a sterling silver garden gate - ‘welcome to my garden'.
