'Blossom and Buds Needle Book' Kit

Here is everything* that you will need to make your very own 'Blossom and Buds Needle Book' just like the one that Sarah made.  

 

Sarah says....."We're definitely in the 'you can never have too many Needle Books' camp and like to keep one with each of works in progress.  Inside the Blossom and Buds Needle Book, is our trued and tested interior, so there’s a couple of pockets for bits and bobs, somewhere for your pins and needles and a safe little home for some sharp embroidery scissors! I wanted it to be both functional and pretty and a pleasure to both sew and use.  It includes Hand Embroidery and Hand Quilting…. a lovely project, if like me, you enjoy lots of hand stitching whilst out and about!    Happy Stitches, Sarah".

 

The pack contains the pattern with detailed instructions, plus all the fabrics, including pre-printed cotton/linen mix fabric for the embroidery, wadding, binding fabric, embroidery threads, ribbon & trims.

 

* To complete, you will also need threads for piecing and quilting, a 5” Embroidery Hoop and Basting Glue Spray such as 505 (optional but very handy!)...plus all your favourite notions and tools.

  

The finished needle book measures: Open: 5” x 9 ½”  /  Closed: 5” x 4 ¾”

 

* For the general machine piecing and EPP, Sarah used Aurifil 50wt and for the hand quilting Aurifil 12 wt in number 2311, available HERE .   A 5" embroidery hoop can be found HERE.
