Rest in the Garden Printed Tapestry Canvas for Half Stitch by Seg De Paris SE926.366

Rest in the Garden is a Seg De Paris printed needlepoint canvas showing a ginger kitten curled on the cushioned seat of a white wooden garden chair, framed by pink climbing roses, potted flowers, and a white picket fence in the background. The print keeps the kitten's warm amber coat as the focal point against the cooler whites and greens of the garden setting.

Why this canvas: the kitten's fur and the chair's woodwork give two contrasting textures to stitch within one composition; the rose-covered background adds color and depth without overwhelming the central animal subject; the garden setting makes it a natural fit for cat lovers who also enjoy floral decor.

Canvas includes: a genuine Zweigart 10ct cotton canvas (40 holes/10 cm), 100 percent cotton, with the half cross stitch design printed directly on the surface, plus a complete color reference list covering all four required DMC thread types: Mouliné, Colbert Wool, Retors Cotton, and Pearl Cotton. Thread, needle, and any finishing or framing materials are not included and must be purchased separately.

Rather than counting from a chart, the stitcher follows the color already printed on the canvas, placing a single diagonal half-cross stitch over each square and consulting the included DMC thread list to match the precise shade called for in that section.

Finished, the canvas measures 40 x 50 cm (15.75 x 19.69 in), a size that reads well as a framed picture or cushion front for a sunroom, garden room, or any space that calls for a gentle, garden-set animal scene.
