DIY block printed stitching: bees & blooms needle book I made myself one of

I made myself one of these journals to be my "greenhouse journal" and loved it so much I made a small collection for my shop

a strand of madrona berries (my favorite special thing)

and taped little bits of thread and fabric for color exploration

lavender/gray: wattle & iron

There is a layer of leather lining the back side (tucked under the felt) so you don't poke your wrist

DIY block printed stitching: bees & blooms needle book I made myself one ofThis kit includes a hand carved block printed image of bees & blooms on a 5 x 7" piece of tea dyed organic cotton hemp fabric, [5] colors of embroidery floss, a hand sewing needle, a guide to basic stitches, and photo inspiration. The block printed image is like a page in a coloring book, and the needle and thread is like your pen. Consider stitching this project without a plan, as if you are doodling. Be mindful of color balance and white space,
