My choice of finish is a needlebook, so I've stitched the design one over one using Crescent Colours Milady's Teal on 28ct cream Cashel linen. The fabric for the cover and the needle page is from French General's La Petite Ecole. The little piece of lace was purchased from France, which I've used before and love so wanted to use it again to pretty up the front, and the shell button came from a pair of old pyjamas that I had thrown away - so glad I saved them, as this one was perfect! The closure is a little twisted cord made from DMC 712 pearl no. 12.
I also made the beaded scissor fob. I bought the sterling silver Eiffel Tower charm some time ago to make a beaded fob for when I eventually got around to stitching Souvenir de France or Jardin Prive's Eiffel Quaker, which ever came first. The beads are sterling silver, Swarovski crystal, pearl and Mill Hill seed beads. It's really pretty and sparkly in real life!
Hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend. Hope to be back soon. :o)

Just gorgeous, I love what you have done with the design. I stitched it up recently for an exchange as a pillow, but would love to do something like this now for myself. Thanks for sharing.

Very nicely done - as always! Such pretty coordination!
Oh Carol what a wonderfully beautiful finish.
So pretty and beautifully finished.
Your scissor fob is beautiful Carol. I was wondering if you could let me know where you purchase your supplies from? I'd love to have a go at making my own fobs. I can't even find good quality lobster clasps that are the correct size! Thanks, Christina
Bonjour de France.
