Garden Love book by Acufactum

In this exquisite book, you will find guidance and inspiration for special cross stitch and sewing projects that bring happiness from the garden into your home.

“It is truly fortunate to have a garden of your own. And no matter how small, it can contribute to our well-being to a large extent. Our gardens are spaces that are full of life: growth, change and development.”

You will find the most beautiful cushions, blankets, pictures, runners and placemats, bags, storage and decorations, all with cross stitch charts and sewing patterns included. Bursting with illustrations by Daniela Drescher with fabric and cross-stitch patterns using artwork of this truly talented illustrator. There are oodles of photos that not only show the stages of the projects but capture moments and draws the viewers eye to the little things that make life beautiful.

Although the book is written in German, there are clear cross stitch charts that are the easy to follow. With diagrams and measurements, sewing patterns are easy to follow but for detailed instructions downloading the Google Translate App works perfectly for reading each and every word in the book. (You just hold your phone over the writing and look through the lens to see that all the writing changes to English!)
