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.

With the Ladies Garden Journal Finishing Kit, you can turn your needle-sketches into your own gardening journal. The kit includes 8 unfinished wooden boards, 7 precut-to-size mat boards, 4 yards twill tape ribbon, Journal Cover Design chart with alphabet to personalize, plus finishing instructions to pull it all together
