Create this beautiful Heart Etui and matching Biscornu and Scissors Fob! The entire set is a symphony of Hardanger Lace, sparkling beads, and beautiful Buillion Knot roses made of luscious silk flosses and Perle Cottons. On the front of the etui are two hinged ‘half-hearts’.. which are designed with Kloster Blocks, a very special Dove’s Cote Hardanger square, and several cute specialty stitches, including the words “Stitched With Love”. When you open the two front panels, you find an elastic band to hold your scissors or other tools, as well as two sections of wool felt for your needles and pins. Turn the etui over, and you see a full Hardanger Heart on the back. It is an echo of the front, but with beautiful Hardanger cutwork, and more Bullion Knot roses! Adding to the charm of this set are two accessories; a lovely Biscornu and a delicate Scissors Fob. When it’s finished, take it with you to your future retreats or display and use it in your own home! See how easy Beautiful Finishing really is! -Thea
