Lavender Bouquet Needlebook
COUNTED CROSS STITCH CHART BY FABY REILLY DESIGNS


Such a pretty way to keep your needles tidy... or such a nice gift for a stitcher friend (fill it up with different size needles). The lavender and butterfly pattern wraps round the cover, with extra details stitched on the inside. Follow Faby Reilly's very detailed "Needlebook tutorial" with step-by-step instructions for assembly.

The beauty of this project is the exquisite stitching of the lavender flowers and butterflies, a clever combination of cross stitch, back stitch and French knots. No fewer than 14 colors are used to convey the delicate shadings of the flowers and all stitches are carefully explained . Note: The pattern includes a great number of French knots.

This pattern is part of the Lavender Bouquet series that includes a humbug, a biscornu, a pouch, a needlebook and an ortbag.
