This little piece is packed with lots of motifs for our favorite past time. Measuring a mere 1.8" square, I've stitched this one with silks from Classic Colorworks. The 'Classics' version features an additional border around the original design.
Choose your favorite threads - just two related colors plus the background - and you're good to go. The model is framed in a bitty frame that is really pretty with the silks, but think about making this into a little needle book too!
Both the original Petites version and the Classics designs are the same chartpak.
