 MATERIALS LIST:

In addition to the Daisy Basket Needlebook Kit or Daisy Basket Needlebook Refill Kit,
you will need the following items to complete your Daisy Basket Needlebook:

one 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of fabric for back panel of needlebook
two 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" pieces of fabric for inside panels of needlebook
one 9"-12" length of 3"-3/12" wide lace for inside pockets, or
two 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" lengths of fabric for inside pockets
six 2-1/2 yard lengths of size 5 Pearle Cotton for finishing edges of needlebook pages
two 1 yard lengths of size 5 Pearle Cotton for attaching needlebook panels
one 1-1/4 yard length of piping, braid or lace for outside edge of needlebook
small amount of braid or an elastic ponytail holder*** or
material of your choice for button loop
shank button (optional)
one tassel (optional)
Ribbons**, floss and beads of your choice.

 *100% cotton flannel and batting are recommended, as polyester will wick moisture, causing pins and needles to rust.

**Approximately 5 yards of 4mm YLI silk ribbon in white was used to embellish the Daisy Basket Silk Print in this project, with approximately 2 yards of 4mm YLI Color #020 used for leaves. Note that variations in ribbon add to the appeal of the embellishment. This is a great opportunity to use up scraps from your "ribbon compost bin." Making daisies, for example, from slightly different shades of plain pink or mauve ribbon, gives the illusion of hand dyed ribbon having been used. Likewise, leaves can be made from 4mm scraps of various green ribbon leftovers. Also, one yard of brown floss (single strand) was used to highlight basket, and one skein of light yellow cotton floss was used for flower centers.

***I learned about using an elastic ponytail holder from Marie Alton, who designed a chatelaine pattern that I made. To learn more about Marie's work and her Chatelaine pattern, please visit her website at http://sredeluxe.tripod.com/.
