Faby Reilly Designs : The Silver Needle, Fine Needlecraft Materials


Violet Biscornu Another lovely, romantic floral biscornu design from Faby Reilly... this is stitched on 32ct Antique White Belfast Linen in DMC flosses. Garnished with a few gold Mill Hill seed beads... you'll find a few dreaded French Knots in here as well... but, hey, think about violet petite beads for those instead!!! This chart is simply lovely in presentation, and your finished cushion will be equally stunning!
Humbugs Galore! Three more offerings, stitch a small fob or ornament... these DO need to be finished into this unique shape... because if not, they are simply 3 x 6 stitched panels. (Finishing involves only 2 folds and two seams to close! That's IT!) Beautiful colors, elegant designs! Offered as charts.
Biscornus Galore! Here are 4 gorgeous offerings -- some that match Faby Reilly's Humbugs - some that don't. Beautiful florals, each is a square design, that is shown finished into a small pin cushion. You could frame these -- they don't require their unique assembled shape to be this pretty! The charts are so clear, the front pictures are perfect. Charted for DMC flosses, each features a specialty stitch or two, (Ribbed Spider Webs or Eyelets for example) and is garnished with beads, and something special to grace their center tied area. Gorgeous! If you need something fun to garnish your centers -- just let us know -- we have lovely buttons and Mill Hill Treasures we can choose.
Poinsettia, Holly and Rose Humbugs Lovely, elegant Christmas ornament designs by Faby Reilly Designs of Paris, this tiny trio of 2 x 2-ish ribboned florals will look pretty on your tree. *Beautifully Charted* for DMC floss and Light Effects metallics, each features Mill Hill glass beads, too. Work them on any 28ct count you like... the charts come with a page of NINE actual photographs of the Humbug assembly procedure -- terribly easy when you see the pics! We don't carry much of the Light Effects thread... we like Rainbow Gallery's Petite Treasure Braid, as the color range is much wider, and the threads themselves are softer and more pliable. We can send all the necessary threads, beads, metallics and fabrics you need. These are really nice!
Christmas Pendeloque This is a neat shape for a stitched ornament... a pendant, with a flat bottom! Christmas Roses and Poinsettias decorate everywhere with a flourish! A companion to Faby Reilly's Humbug ornaments, this is also offered in chart format with 20 little photographs of the finishing process!!! A very clear chart, they have color coded the backstitch lines. Charted for DMC floss, I THINK this must finish approx 6 x 3... stitch count is 160 x 80... but it's wrapped... the bottom panel has a stitch count of 20 x 20, so on 28ct, that little bottom panel is 1-1/2 inches square. We have to get our shop model done ASAP! An absolutely lovely chart.
Snowman Biscornu Cute, cute, cute! Even the bottom side is stitched with noses, hats and scarves -- after the snowmen have melted!!! 60 x 60 Stitch count, work this on any white even-weave you wish, charted for DMC flosses... the center is garnished with a white pom-pon!
