Description

Holly is an iconic symbol of Christmas, the ruby red of the berries gleaming against the deep green of the spiked leaves.

Dusted with gold beads, these tiny sprigs are cleverly worked with Rhodes stitch and decorate a needlebook, pincushion and scissor fob, creating a wonderful contrast to the lacy pulled thread background.

The needlebook contains two pockets and wool pages and each piece is edged with dainty blanket stitch loops.
