I have seen one made in red aida with white DMC-a really wonderful one.I hope I can do one in red and white for the next year,

The scissor fob is made in thin linen fabric-I think 32ct and DMC.

I love it because it's so thin and delicate in the colour combinations.
Betty has some other lovely patterns,some are freebees,and I really enjoy her patterns even if i'm not so "primitive" as she can be.
