Description
Harmony’s imagery celebrates all the life forms enjoying the shelter and abundance of the garden, from a snake soaking up the sun’s rays to the bee making his pollination rounds to the cat keeping pests at bay. A radiating sunflower shines high above, always turning toward the light of the sun.

These patterns are meant to be “choose your own adventure” style: You can simply transfer one onto your fabric as is, or you can mix and match elements to create your very own design.
The larger motifs at the top, bottom, and sides are designed to be easily switched out while the growing stems in the middle remain consistent. For example, let’s say you love the Harmony design, but you don’t like snakes. You might replace the snake with a “hand of guidance” to amp up your own green thumb, or you might decide to highlight a shimmering bird as a beloved member of the garden community.
The smaller flowers near the center are simple forms meant to represent a broad variety of plants, just by changing up the colors. Choose the colors of these flowers according to what you’d love to see blooming in your own yard.
You can use a computer program to flip the designs if you like, or if you’re using the “lightbox transfer” technique with printed paper, you can simply flip the paper over (you’ll still be able to see the design through the back side). If you’d prefer not to trace, this pattern is optionally available with a printed stick-and-stitch design on dissolvable stabilizer that you can place on top of any fabric you choose.
