Stitched on 30 count over 1 on Belle Soie Silk colour Noir. A lovely project which my friend gave me as a birthday present in 2007, and only now finished it, slap slap.
The finishing on the Hornbook itself was quite easy, just glue it on the wood, the sides are finished with nunstitch and I ironed a piece of interfacing on the back of the linen.
Even you can do it
Siobhan &
Terri :-))) finishing is easy peasy.
Would love to extend my collection of Hornbooks now and have to see what I stitch on the empty one, I did look in this little booklet, but that means that I have to design it myself, yes I am lazy, but might give it a try.
The linen in the background is Selkie 36 count by
An Elne of Lynnyn.

Bertie, your hornbook is absolutely beautiful. I have never given them a thought but yours have caught my attention and now I want my own little collection. I just love, love them!
Bertie hij is prachtig geworden
Lieve groetjes

Bertie, I love your hornbook!!! I did both of those that you have pictured and want to collect more of them. I think I have one other kit to do, and then, like you, I'm going to have to design them myself!
Lovely work! You say it's easy, but I think it's probably practice isn't it? ;-) Have fun building your collection!
Hi, like the result! Also your new logo!
Bertie,
Your work is beautiful! I would love to get a kit like this. Any thoughts as to where? Darby
I love it!! I'm trying for a hornbook collection too -- very slowly. lol!
What a lovely finish Bertie! I have yet to stitch a hornbook, I think I need to rectify that in 2010 because I love any that I've seen.
You are a superb stitcher, Bertie, all your items are so perfectly stitched and finished - I think I shall come to you for classes.
I love your new blog banner, too.
It's lovely Bertie, congratulations
Ahhhh.... Your're funny, Bertie! Actually, I did do that little hornbook - I didn't think the finishing was quite so easy though! And, mine does not look as good as yours does. Great start to a sweet collection, GF!
Wow, Bertie, it is fabulous!! I'm laughing at your saying that the finishing is easy... I was reading through my Hillside Samplings Hornbook chart and wondering if I could manage it w/o gluing myself to the wall or something equally disastrous. I have something to aspire to, that's for sure, with your beautiful collection!
Love your hornbook Bertie, just gorgeous. I have this in my stash, I really must stitch it. Hugs, Lyn
