- a detailed shopping list
- a schedule page with all publication dates (please note that this SAL is now fully published)
- a layout page with a suggestion of how to place each section on the fabric
- a special stitch tutorial page for all those used in this project
EACH INDIVIDUAL PATTERN includes:
- a 70 x 70 stitches chart for each of the 12 sections to be stitched
- a key and a printable thread card specific to that section
BONUS PATTERN: Anthea ABC, with small font / capitalised letters / numbers to customise each pattern.

- Mill Hill beads
- 6mm sequins
