Chart: Lady in the Deckchair, Cross-Stitch Design

A sweet summer scent wafts around this elegant composition inspired by gardens of yesteryear. Comfortably settled in her striped deckchair, a charming lady enjoys the first rays of sunshine while flowers, foliage, and small decorative accessories create a fresh and poetic setting. A delightfully retro scene that evokes long summer afternoons spent in the garden.

This creation harmoniously blends embroidery, fabrics, fancy papers, and decorative objects in a "home decor" spirit. Presented on two decorated frames, the piece plays with materials, volumes, and textures to bring a true miniature scene to life. The decorative frieze and the main character perfectly complement each other to form an original ensemble that will appeal to lovers of creative decoration and contemporary embroidery.

The design was embroidered on DMC 11-thread/cm linen fabric, natural color 842, worked over 2 warp threads and 2 weft threads. This creation can also be made on 12-thread/cm linen fabric or 5.5-stitch/cm Aida fabric for similar dimensions.
