Strawberry Needle Book
A bright, cheerful strawberry rainbow panel to stitch into a beautiful needlebook to keep yourself and your sewing projects organized. For the stitched example, we used back stitch, running stitch,and chain stitches. However, like all Dropcloth Samplers, you can choose your own adventure and pick your own stitches and colors. For thread, mix it up with all your favourite colours and sizes
Complete directions for turning this panel into a finished needle book are included with the sampler. The finished project makes an excellent gift for a stitchy friend- especially if you load it up with threaded needles!

How should I back my sampler?
For best results, I recommend backing this fabric with a second piece of fabric (cotton or linen) before placing your fabric in the hoop. You'll get the flattest, most even stitches this way. Check out my how-to for this step on Creativebug or IGTV (@dropcloth)
What size hoops should I use?
I like a size 6—but use whatever you hoop you have on hand.
