Coastal Gardens

A Mediterranean lake view, with the village houses running down to the water, boats resting on their reflections and a flower-filled staircase in the foreground. With 43 shades, half cross stitch for the softer areas and backstitch for the outlines, it suits stitchers who already have a few projects behind them and enjoy detailed landscapes.

The chart is only available through the free Fantastitch app: there is no paper grid and the format cannot be printed. You will also want a hoop or frame and good light while you stitch. The frame shown in the photo is not included, but the finished piece works beautifully as a picture.
