Designer: With My Needle

Note from the designer - The Ackworth Friendship Book is an accordion-style book of Quaker motifs from Ackworth School in northern England. There are 10 stitched pages. Each set of pages forms a pocket in which you can store special treasures. On my model, I stitched the front and back book covers, and eight of my friends each stitched a page and "signed" her page with her initials. You can do the same or else stitch the entire book yourself.

The model was stitched on 36 Ct. Maple Sugar from Lakeside Linens with Classic Colorworks floss. The design requires 6, 5-yard skeins if stitched with one ply of thread like the model. If you want to cut the linen into individual pieces, the chart suggests linen 22.5" x 30.5". If you want to stitch all of the pages on one piece without cutting before assembly, use a piece 21.5" x 17.25". The model also uses 12-mm Arctic Ice Dark silk satin ribbon from Gloriana Threads (1 yard for the book and 2 yards for the bag).

Stitches used: cross stitch and backstitch. Stitching directions, charts, and detailed assembly instructions for both the book and a carrying bag are included.
