Description

Take Time to Read from the Take Time Series. A book-lover’s dream, this design has it all… stacks of novels and histories, a cup of hot tea, and a cozy spot by the fireplace. Finish it off with your initials and the year.

The sampler contains 11 boxes, done in a palette of over-dyed silks. Many “specialty” stitches are used – there are diagrams and written instructions for all of them, making this design approachable – if you have patience (and Google), your initial skill level with specialty stitches will not be important.
