Forget Me Not Fairy Cross
Stitch Chart by
DMCPrepare to enter the
secret world of the
Flower Fairies. Flower
Fairies are tiny
creatures (the biggest is
only 20cm tall) that live
in the bottom of the
garden, the middle of
grassy meadows, and on
the edge of distant
marshes. Wherever and
whenever a seed sprouts,
a Flower Fairy baby is
born. Each Flower Fairy
lives and sleeps in their
chosen flower, plant or
tree and as this grows
the fairy grows too. Each
and every Flower Fairy is
in charge of looking
after their flower or
plant; keeping it strong
and healthy by making
sure it has plenty of
sunshine and water to
drink, sweeping away dead
leaves and polishing
flowers and stems.
Created by Cicely Mary
Barker the Flower Fairies
are famous throughout the
world and beautifully
translated into cross
stitch chart packs by
DMC. Here we have a
colour chart for the
Forget Me Not
Fairy.Included with the
chart is a pack of
rocaille beads. Perfect
for embellishing your
stitching to add that
extra sparkle.
