A delight for lovers of all things botanical and whimsical, My Garden Things is a joyful celebration of garden life rendered in rich silk, glittering beads, and signature Châtelaine intricacy. Originally released as a Mystery Design in 2009, this enchanting vertical sampler is now available as a complete chart.
Wander through Martina’s magical garden: tiny tools, woven baskets, buzzing bees, fluttering butterflies, and scattered blooms are all brought to life with specialty stitches, shimmering metallics, and luxurious silks. The composition is tall and elegant — perfect for hallways or as a statement piece in a stitching nook.
From soft Pistachio Greens to glistening Vatican Gold, from Jessica and Rhodes stitches to woven effects and sparkling Swarovski accents, this design is a rich playground of texture and detail.
