What is a cross stitch sampler?

A sampler, in this case cross stitched, is a collection of different motifs. This type of embroidery has humble and curious origins: in the past, many seamstresses and embroiderers did not have access to pattern books, so they had a piece of fabric where they copied different motifs they liked so they could remember them later. They used every last bit of the scrap because fabrics were expensive, resulting in curious compositions of motifs.

What are Una Buena Pieza's Gardens?

Gardens are a modern and personal version of these samplers: they are small collections of motifs designed around a specific theme, placed on the pattern with great care and attention and with carefully chosen color palettes.

Why are they so fun to embroider?

Gardens are super fun to embroider because you can see your progress right away: every day you can finish one or more mini embroideries, so your garden will gradually blossom before your eyes.
