The Summer Garden

Inspired by exceptional gardens and 18th-century floral fabrics, this bucolic scene depicts a garden corner where birds frolic among wild strawberries, wildflowers, and a watering can nestled in the greenery. A suspended moment, tender and luminous, as if it escaped from a botanist's notebook.

Delicate foliage, white corollas, and red fruits echo each other in a soft and natural palette, offering a vibrant embroidery where each stitch brings a new detail to life.

Hand-painted in our Parisian workshop, this canvas is part of the Annie Bouquet universe, where heritage, poetry, and artisanal savoir-faire meet to create unique pieces.

Two options:
Canvas only: the hand-painted canvas, ready to embroider with your wool.
Complete kit: the hand-painted canvas, fine "La Royale" Aubusson wool for the pattern and background, needle, and stitch guide.

Design dimensions:
36 × 22 cm (≈ 14.2 × 8.7 in)

Antique Monofil:
13 stitches/inch (13 mesh, ≈ 5.1 sts/cm)

Execution:
Accessible to embroiderers of all levels. It combines delicate foliage, small fruits, and birds for a fresh piece of work.

Finishing & use:
Once embroidered, then mounted and filled, this canvas becomes a decorative brick (doorstop) that adorns the base of a door, a shelf, or a fireplace, bringing to your interior the charm of antique works.

Through the time it requires, the gesture it embodies, and the material it reveals, this embroidery acquires a value far beyond its mere decorative use.
