Fiber Recommendations
The Bennett and Isadora Botanical Squares showcase Inslee Fariss’s signature florals in a palette that beautifully overlaps from one canvas to the next, making them especially stunning stitched as a pair. I’m planning to finish mine as coordinating pillows in my home, but they would be equally lovely framed or even transformed into a double-sided handbag.
You will only need one skein of each fiber color unless otherwise noted. Because the two designs share so many hues, I’ve created a combined fiber list for stitching both canvases. This allows you to maximize each skein and purchase efficiently.
They also make the perfect stash-buster project - be sure to shop your own thread collection first. You may already have more than you think!
