Stitcher's comments:

The Needle Pointers January 2005 issue summarizes the stitching experience, "Personality, frills, color, and laughter are just a few of the words that come to mind when you see this playful swing of friends. A few of the techniques used are Turkey work, beadwork, tramé padding, cording and openwork background with both diagonal and vertical satin stitches, split stitches, French knots, scallop stitches, and crisscross Hungarian stitches. Every girl has to have her ornamentation, and the Friends, with their gold and pearl necklaces, are no exception."
