Design is stitched 1 over 2 on 36ct Edinburgh linen in antique white using WDW and GA threads as listed on the chart.
I followed a tutorial for the box from Judy Odell's book The Flatfold and friends.
I chose Blackbird designs Harvest Home for the fabric as the colours matched so well with the colour of the threads
The box is all hand sewn and padded and is really lovely to feel.
I made the corded and tasseled scissor fob and the bead just added that extra touch. It looked such a good match and was one I had already in my bead collection.
I am very pleased with how it turned out.
Hope you like it.
