Just Nan’s Gilded Dragonfly Scissor Purse & Fob

Guilded DragonflyCross My Heart is thrilled to be one of a limited number of stores to be able to offer Just Nan’s new Gilded Dragonfly Scissor Purse & Fob! This stunning addition to any stitcher’s collection includes beads, pearls and Swarovski crystals embellishing the design, along with a beautifully embossed dragonfly.

Nan has created a 3-dimensional pink rose for the back. Her instructions make it a joy to recreate using overdyed wool and silk braid. The purse and fob are stitched entirely in Au Ver A Soie silk (no conversions). The feature thread is Gilt Sylke Twist, a gorgeous thread made by wrapping the thinnest of gold wires around a silk base. No stitcher has had such a silk in her hands since the time of Elizabeth I. You will love the subtle shimmer it adds to the design.

You can purchase the complete kit through Cross My Heart, including the silks, 28 linen, leaflet, embellishments, overdyed wool, silk braid, snap, interfacing and complete finishing instructions from Pamela’s Final Touch. Stitchers must furnish their own lining material. The finished purse measures 4 ½” by 2 ½”, and the fob is 1 ½” square.
