All year long people have asked me if I would offer my Pride and Prejudice Needlebook and Bookmark again because this is the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth. So here it is, for sale. The price includes the Instructions for both the Needle Book and the Book Mark. For sale separately the last copies of my little Jane Austen alphabets booklet.

The above photo shows the insides of the needlebook and the front of

the bookmark. (The photo below shows the back of the bookmark.)

Below is a photo of the front of the Needlebook and its spine. I remember

designing the Needlebook so that it had a proper spine and could hold

several felt pages.

Along with my Pride and Prejudice Needle Book, I made a Book Mark.

Scroll up and you will see the front of the Book Mark with tiny scissors on top of the open needle book

On the left is the back of the Book Mark with my favorite quote about Jane Austen by Virginia Woolf:

"Of all great writers she is the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness.".

On the left: the front of the Needlebook,

Further Comments

I spent much of 2012 obsessed with making this needle book. I loved every minute of figuring it out and stitching it so that I could have a Jane Austen Party for the whole of 2013, and that's what I did.  This is the first time in 9 years that I have sold it. I am bringing it back now because of requests.

One of my hesitations in selling the pattern: I no longer have my needle book, bookmark or any of the accessories I also made. About 5 years ago I gave them to a small collections library with the very good fortune of having first editions of all six of Jane Austen's novels. I thought, perfect place for my Pride and Prejudice, Needle Book Edition.

The very diligent Maxine Martin began and completed the Needle Book this year, as a part of my 15-Stitches a Day Program. When she finished it, she said to me, she would like to lead a group of Janeite Stitchers on Facebook.  That's when I decided, OK, I will sell it once again.

Next year is the 210th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice. I suggest you  put on an audio book and work your way through the Needle Book.

Details from Maxine

She stitched her needle book on congress cloth. The measurements are 6 1/4" tall x 4 1/4" wide. Thanks, Maxine.

An Important Word about Ground Fabrics

In the instructions are suggestions of different ground fabrics including congress cloth and various linens. The congress cloth is still available, with the addition in recent years of the color Soft Ivory.

I made my own Needlebook on congress cloth and  all of the other linens listed in the pattern are extinct now,  

My expertise is not in linen; if you wish to make the needle book on a linen ground, I suggest you contact Cathe Ray for suggestions in possibilities and also for coodinating threads.
