28 Summer Themed Cross Stitch Projects

About the Book

What does summer in the village mean for you? Let’s think back to childhood and remember… You’re a little girl. You wake up with the sun’s first rays streaming through the window, and hear the birdsong. Nature is beautiful and amazing and every day is full of adventure! There is lots to do in the countryside – decorating your cosy little house, running through the fields with your best friend, picking wildflowers, tidying the garden, or cuddling a little rabbit.

This book includes cross-stitch designs themed around summer, a cosy little cottage, cute animals, wildflowers, garden tools, herbs and much more. Every page is full of inspiration and shows the beauty of the slow pace of country life. The book includes charts of different sizes and difficulty levels, so every stitcher - from beginner to advanced - will find lovely designs that they can enjoy making with a gorgeous end result!

Fresh Herbal Tea

What could be better than a cup of delicious herbal tea? It’s a real treat to relax with a healthy cup of tea on the veranda in the evenings. And it’s especially nice when the rose hips, linden and sea buckthorn are picked fresh from your own garden!

Cute Little Bags

What are these cute little bags? Everyone should have a lovely bag like this to store dry herbs, pretty trinkets or little secrets.

Homemade Jams & Honey

Homemade jam is the best! Our little girl did a great job and now she has both apple jam and pear jam. The fruit comes from her own garden, of course. The bees also helped her collect a jar of honey. And when we decorate the jars with embroidery and ribbon ties, breakfast in the countryside will be even tastier, cosier and more beautiful than before.

Hydrangea Alphabet

Hydrangeas are exquisitely elegant flowers. Combined with delicate lace and petals, this alphabet sampler will adorn any corner of your home.

Beautiful Butterflies

Butterflies are always surprising with their beauty and delicacy. They are so varied in colour: yellow, green, orange, pink, blue and even black. As they flutter from flower to flower in gardens and wildflower meadows, they remain a lovely emblem of summer.

Best Friends

Here come the best friends! They’ve been out in the field all morning collecting daisies, grass flowers and lavender. The basket of flowers is full and a few bouquets have already been made. Our girls, like busy bees, don’t waste any time.

Meadow Fun

Childhood means total freedom! What fun to run barefoot in a flower meadow with a friend, feel the grass beneath your feet, watch the sunset and enjoy the holidays.

Wild Herbs

This embroidered textile summer bag is a must-have for every girl. And how nice to collect lavender, clover and tansy in such a bag, breathing in the scent of fresh wild herbs.

Every Home Needs Flowers

Our little journey comes to an end... Afterwards, I’d like to take another walk with you through our pretty little village, where every house is decorated with flowers. Don’t forget to decorate your home and your life with flowers too, because each of our days and happiness in it is made up of tiny moments. As the saying goes - enjoy the little things!
