The Orange Tree Pillow - pattern

$17.60

It's Summer in the garden, the flowers are in bloom and the orange tree is full of fruit just waiting to be picked. Felix the cat is having a lazy afternoon sleeping in the sun. To compliment the fabric from ‘Secret Garden’ a fabric line from Lynette Anderson Designs, Lynette has combined some simple appliqué and stitchery to create this lovely scene, what better way to finish it off than with one of her specially designed handpainted wheelbarrow button.

Wheelbarrow button available separately.
