here’s an example:

Nicole Ray of Sloe Gin Fizz

illustrated this adorable pattern for us to stitch. Isn’t it so cute? I decided to use metallic thread for the bell jar and used backstitch for most of it. French knots made the little circles, and I added a few little extra brown lines in the dirt. I used a single strand of the metallic thread and two strands for every other color.

Print it out and start stitchin! Post pics of your project on the Indie Lovely facebook page! I wanna see the colors you choose!
