Needlepoint: Mini Perle

by Jean Hilton

I did a Stitch-along with a friend for this project, which we both ogled in one of our LNS's, Metamorphosis, a couple of years ago. We had a trip planned in June to get her materials, but just couldn't wait that long, so we've started it! She did a different colorway. See the Mini Perle stitch-along page.
