Anaïs Curveur 1896Beautiful pattern from Reflets de Soie

This is enough to leave a small gap between each design to cut out and put into a finished fabric book at the end of the year

It's made from laser cut wood and is a great project for beginners and cross stitch newbies

design is The Sentinel by Chantelle's 141 Design Co

Every now and then I like to do a piece just for the fun of it

and endlessly versatile

The design is based on antique alphabet fonts and floral borders

It also has the added benefit of no hoop wrinkles
