This beautiful aqua and rose coloured Summer Box is the third of four seasonal needlework boxes for you to stitch and finish! The lid top is fully embroidered as are the beautiful accessories! I’ve used gorgeous silk flosses and overdyed silk ribbons, and pearls and sparkling beads. Be prepared for a few new stitches, some beautiful Silk Ribbon flowers, and enjoy the Cross Stitched areas too. The finishing is so easy when you follow Lisa’s clear directions and coloured photos! In addition to the finishing techniques, you will also find clear and easy instructions and step by step photos to make your own cording and simple tassels and how to attach them to your lovely creations! - Thea
