Fabric: 28 count evenweave in "Ivory." Fabric purchased from Hobby Lobby.

Made For: myself. Maybe ...

I have a tentative plan to finish it on the top of a trinket box from Hobby Lobby, #299743L

The other Love and Prickles I started ...

This is the variegated floss I'm contemplated on using for the one flower. Still undecided if I keep using this fabric or go with an 18 count aida. Now that I've had some time to sit on it I think I may be leaning towards the aida.
