The canvas stitches were difficult to do on this small scale, and are not very impressive either. I will have to select a better use for the next canvas stitch and make the stitches larger.
On the other hand, I think two stitches, the Pointed Tip Buttonhole Knot Flower and the New England Stitch, were good for the carrots and their green fronds.
As you can see, Sunbonnet Sue has joined the millions of people around the globe who grow their own vegetables, now that food prices have skyrocketed. She is lucky enough to still have enough water to keep the kitchen garden going.

This is great! Good for you, Sue, for growing your own vegetables! As always, creative use of stitches to tell Sue’s stories.
Wish I could grow vegetables like Sue, not had much luck with them.
Sue is great by the way.
She's wonderful! Makes me smile.
What wonderful needlework designs you have created in making Sue.
Fabulous! Yes, home grown vegetables are not only cut the cost but taste more flavoursome.
What a wonderful use of stitches. Sue's garden is perfect while prices are high - and even better, they are fresh and have more flavour than store bought items.
Sue the Gardener is looking very good. I agree that the canvaswork stitches can be a bit tricky to pull off on fabric, but they do work here, even if you found them difficult!
Good for Sue! I have a friend who is a Master Gardener and she is always spreading the good news about the benefits of gardening.
We have a lot of Farmer's Markets around us so I'm blessed! Corn is a big deal right now and I forgot we have wild blackberries in abundance here, free for the picking.
She is adorable! Hey! I was close! Carrot salad!
