I came across this design when my local LNS owner came back from the last market. It caught my eye immediately and I couldn't wait to stitch it. It came as a kit with everything except the ribbon and fabric and the instructions for finishing were quite easy. It was stitched on 32ct. flax linen using a DMC floss and I used the same floss color to make the twisted braid.
The paper pattern is attached to the back of the hornbook and inside there is a page with a piece of wool felt to hold your needles. A page with a heart to hold a small pair of scissors and a page with a small envelope with inside is a needle threader.
My next project is a La D Da pattern and I hope everyone is having a fantastic Sunday.
P.S. Forgot to tell you who designed it....The Stitching ParlorBlessings as always,
