I found a project (now closed) offered through the Shining Needle Society that includes stitching and the accessories. "Thistlewood" by Jackie du Plessis
This is a counted thread project on linen.
The hand dyed silk thread is beautiful.
I will have all of the counted thread work completed this week.
It's fine stitching with the leaf fill stitched over one thread on a 34 count linen.
This is a picture (used with permission from Jackie) of the finished project, including the accessories to complete the set;
Glass Head Pins
Beeswax w/ Enamel Thistlewood 'caps'
Silk threads and fabrics
34 count linen
Handmade Scrimshaw/Bone Tools
Sterling Silver Charm
My Part 2 post will be my completed project! I'm very excited to learn the finishing techniques. I hope to have it completed yet this year.

Amazing. It is a beautiful design and very nicely sewn.
I tip my hat to you, doing such find needlework!!! I love the cross-stitch effect, but haven't really done much my self at all. Can't wait to see the finished project!!
It's beautiful! Jackie is a wonderful wonderful teacher. I've taken a class with her in person -- you learn so much from her. And her techniques are so clever too! Have fun!
Holy Cow! Those are some teensy weensy stitches! A treasure in the making.
Lovely! You are quite the needlewoman, Dawn. Look forward to seeing the finished needle case.
Dawn, it is going to be so pretty. I love things like this and I can't wait to see the finished project.
