A Day at the Beach Sampler Leaflet

Stitchers Beach Tote, Book, and Measuring Tape Pouch... What’s better than a day at the beach”? Especially when it's a beautiful sunny day, with a slight breeze, and the ocean is as blue as the sky. We all love to hang out at the beach, and now you can do so with a special tote bag and book of seaside stitches to read. This lovely needlework set of smalls is particularly lovely to stitch and use during the summer, or on vacation at the cottage. There's mermaids under a beach umbrella, there's a picnic lunch and the docks close by. The ocean waves are cheerful and the book is fascinating.. what more do you need? The colours used in this design are soft blues and whites, with sandy gold and two little turquoise tailed mermaids sparkling in the sunshine! Stitched with luscious over-dyed silks and sparkling metallics, this project is designed for the beach lover! There’s a tiny book and drawstring bag for you to stitch and finish. The book has 8 pages of Specialty Stitches with a beautiful multicoloured Alphabet and some Cross Stitched ocean motifs sprinkled throughout. There are even two cutwork motifs; one Hardanger and one Drawn Thread. I hope you love stitching this Beach Tote with it’s accessories.. and that it’s always time for A Day at the Beach for you! -Thea
