NEEDLEWORKPATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs

The pattern is part of the designer's delightful year-round collection of needlework flowers, one for each month of the year, the Anthea collection. The December design is a gorgeous seasonal arrangement with large white Christmas roses on a background of holly, mistletoe and poinsettia.

Each floral motif of this calendar can be stitched:

- either with the name of each month

- or customized with the name of a person, or words of your choice

An alphabet chart (caps and lower case) as well as a blank chart for positionning letters are provided with the chart 

This design will make a great Greeting card too. Simply substitute the text with greetings of your choice using the blank template and alphabets provided. 

This chart is intermediary level. It includes specialty stitches such as the diamond eyelet stitch, as well as seedbeads and a corresponding tutorial for each stitch.
