Description: To enter a world of graceful blooms and ageless charm, simply turn the page and step through our garden gate. A leisurely visit reveals dainty pansy faces dancing in gentle breezes and shy violets peeking out from lush foliage. You can explore restful havens enchanted by a bluebird's lifting song and daisy-dotted meadows where wistful misses abide. Or celebrate the ever-changing seasons with golden summer blooms, orchards laden with succulent fruit, and dogwood blossoms heralding the arrival of spring. All of the designs make handsome heirlooms when framed, but you can also finish them as smaller projects like porcelain jars, pillows, and linen towels that give flowery appeal to bedroom, bath, and dining room. Or add the romance of flowers to sweaters, samplers, and elegant afghans. As you become enamored with these rainbow-hued blossoms, you'll discover the beauty of a special language--the lyrical sounds of the earth speaking through flowers to its dearest admirers.
