Flowers for Ellaine is a great project if you are confident with basic embroidery stitches, have a little experience or are are new to crewel work.
The needle book and scissor case are decorated with flowers and foliage inspired by traditional crewel embroidery. The design was created to compliment a pincushion publised in The Design Collection, Pincushions. I named it Flowers for Ellaine for a dear friend of mine, who wears red like nobody else I know can.
