OCF – CHAT 053 –

These light-colored and filigree design takes the beautiful useful and ornamental vegetable gardens of Versailles as a topic. All plants there can be harvested and filled in the King’s kitchen with fresh fruit and veggies. Salads were planted in scrolled ornamental rows and so they could have both – the useful greens and the beauty of a planned parterre garden!

This design incorporates many variegated hand-dyed silks, metallic braids, sparkles, and beads as well as Special Stitches and a small amount of over-one cross stitch.
