This one is a variation on the original popular needlecase design but with the introduction of a small Biscornu scissor fob, a must for the dedicated stitcher. Both the needlecase and scissor fob reflect the same basic design which was stitched on #28 Brittney fabric using Anchor Pearl Cotton, Caron Wildflowers, DMC stranded cottons and Mill Hill glass seed beads. The Needle Case measures 6.75" x 3.25", (17cm x 8cm) approximately, whilst the scissor fob measures 1.75" x 1.75", (4cm x 4cm). For more details take a look at the Miscellaneous collection today. Chart Review Wedding Day Ring Pillow Getting married? Know anyone who is? Because this is an absolutely stunning design which would look perfect on that special day. There are many details and accessories required for the ceremony, but not surprisingly the ring pillow may be considered one of the most crucial. The use of a ring pillow to transport the rings during the ceremony emphasizes the rings importance and what they will represent. It is fitting then, that this ring pillow was designed for just such an occasion. Taking a closer look reveals what else, but hearts and flowers. The outer border consists of Kloster blocks and woven bars which are studded with elegant Guttermann pearl beads. The four corner motifs are made up from a series of Rhodes hearts. The inner blanket stitch border holds yet more hearts, this time using Kloster blocks and woven bars. The addition of a small splash of colour for the cross stitch flowers gives a really elegant look to the whole design. Finally, a white ribbon attached to the centre of the pillow may be used to securely attach those very important rings. The final touch on this pillow was the use of a white silky fabric to back the pillow and to trim the edges with white twisted cording. The chart for this design gives you both full instructions for the Hardanger cover and also the very important making up instructions to complete the pillow.
