Summer in the Garden - Jeannette Douglas (WIP)
I started the Summer section of Seasons in the Garden by Jeannette Douglas.
I stitched this for the "Welcome Spring Weekend" in the DotDotGoose discord group. I know it's not the Spring section, but I wanted to start on the top left and move down to the spring section. I'm very happy with the progress I made in only 3 days.
