Matryoshka Needlework Set - II
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Gera! by Kyoko Maruoka

Kyoko Maruoka is a wonderfully creative designer always coming up with neat new ideas. This is her second series of cross stitch Matryoshka - those little nesting Russian dolls - turned into needlework accessories. This time however each little doll is individually designed, one featured with a kitten, another holding a baby in her arms, another carrying a basket...

The brilliant idea for these dolls is that each is the same size chart, with the same level of detail,  but the needlework fabric count is adjusted so that each doll is a different size perfectly suited for each accessory, be it the tiny needlethreader keeper or the larger matryoshka housing a tape measure.This set of accessories also includes a wonderful needle-case that opens up like a butterfly (and has a tiny pocket) as well as a pin cushion and a scissor case. That's five embroidery accessories in total.

The chart comes with a tutorial, beautifully detailed instructions with photos as well as diagrams. GERA! designer puts a lot of though into the actual design and mounting of finished objects... and it shows.
