French Redwork Exchange

Received a piece of 18ct fabric from MW for the exchange. She sent another piece of evenweave 28ct which I have never stitched on before and a length of over-dyed multi-colour thread. My, am I behind where XS is concerned having left it off since I seriously concerntrated on patchwork and quilting!

Have more or less finished the XS stitching and cut out the felt and backing fabric to assemble it into a needle-book. Hope the design I've chosen is "french" enough! *wink* Intend to add words for the back panel relating to this exchange, then sew it up and voila I'll be finished!
