Designer’s Note
This artwork features a person peacefully relaxing in a turquoise hammock beneath a wide-brimmed straw hat, creating a calm coastal escape with minimalist charm. The design combines fill stitches, satin stitch accents, crisp outlines, and carefully sequenced color changes to produce smooth coverage and refined details while minimizing unnecessary trims. Soft aqua, warm tan, rich brown, and black accents create a soothing beach-inspired palette with a laid-back vacation atmosphere.
