Stitch a Book for Back to School

I know some students are still trickling back to school, though my girl has been back almost two weeks already. Still, it feels like there’s still time for a couple more school-themed projects, right?

I really like this book and pencil chart from Un Jour, Une Grille de Point de Croix Gratuite. It’s pretty simple, though the chart is a little confusing because all the colors are labeled with letters or numbers in addition to being a particular color.

Still, I think this would be a great little addition to a stitched bookmark or a notebook cover. So cute!
