Carnations in flower lore represent maternal love.  This pocket-sized case, worked on 32-count linen with silk threads in shades of red & green with accents in brown, highlights some of the varied shapes & counted stitches used throughout history to depict the carnation.

The front cover has a single stylized carnation. The back & inner covers feature variations of this flower. Two diagonal inside pockets feature more stylized depictions of the carnation, & the final inner panel holds a pincushion. A Queen Stitch scissors fob finishes off the carnation theme. The two spine areas are used for personalization.

Stitches used include: Queen, Florentine, Outline, Smyrna Cross, Satin Cushion, Double Running, Petit Point, Palestrina Knot, Satin, and Cross-Stitch over One.

Finished design size when folded is 2-3/4” x 2-3/4” x ¾” deep.

Finished design size when unfolded is approximately 9-5/8” x 2-3/4”.
