Jardin de Poche Pattern with template included “Around the Bush”

This delightful and small project is for both embroiderers and appliqu enthusiasts. A traditional shape, the orange peel, revisited and extended to include a mini garden, a Jardin de Poche (pocket garden). Whilst keeping the embroidery to 3 or 4 of the most traditional stitches you will make some gorgeous native Australian flowers such as Sturt Desert Peas, Eucalyptus flowers and much more even a Fairy-Wren. Discover or rediscover the some of the beautiful beauties of the bush.

In a working style bookletVeronique has given some suggestions for the colours of the flowers but after it is your garden so you need to choose your colours scheme. And there is even a section per flowers for you to write which threads and colours you are using for each specific flower.

The appliqu is simple, but its all in the fabrics ! Lovely Liberty lawns and 1930s to give that fresh and timeless look, or choose favourite fabrics from your stash!

The whole project is on a linen/cotton background, the perfect setting for Liberty fabrics and embroidery. As for the quilting the word is KISS ( keep it simple s).

Veronique haskept it small but it is up to you to double or triple some of your favorites flowers. You can even mix and match with the original Jardin de Poche pattern to make one larger quilt.
