These charming French Linen Pockets will fill your soul and heart with the scent of spring flowers as you stitch them. My newest creations were such a joy to create! I have just moved to France and found a lovely cottage in the country, so I was full of inspiration to make some linen pockets to slip between my freshly unpacked sweaters. The floral design of daisies, wild roses, and delphiniums displayed altogether in a wildflower bouquet just make me smile at the thought of the coming spring! There are silk ribbon stitches using gorgeous overdyed silk ribbon, as well as some hints of no-cut Hardanger and even a monogram for you to personalize your own pockets. You will find some excellent instructions too! Please take a moment and stitch up one of these adorable pockets, fill with lavender or other potpourri, and tuck into your wardrobe, or give to a friend! - Linda
