Bees Needlebook

I was recenly honoured to be asked to design a little project for the EGA (Embroiderers Guild of America) The result was this little needlebook which comes with full photo assembly instructions.

If you would like to join the EGA (full membership plan details are on their website) for a subscription you get access to a multitude of lovely projects and this will soon be appearing there too! 

Or if you would rather not become an EGA member you can purchase here!

The design size in stitches is 116 x 70

On 18 count your needlebook will measure approximately 8 x 10 cm (3.25 x 4 inch)

On 16 count your needlebook will measure approximately 9.25 x 11 cm (3.75 x 4.5 inch)

On 14 count your needlebook will measure approximately 10.5 x 13 cm (4.25 x 5 inch)

You will need some basic equipment: pins, scissors, sharp needle, tapestry needle and a small piece of fabric for lining, a small pieces of felt for the pages and some contrasting and matching sewing threads. Full details in the instructions :)

I think these would make lovely gifts for any needlework loving friends you may have!

My sample was stitched on 18 count aida using a single strand of 30wt black Sulky thread.
