'Queen Anne's Lace' Boxtop and Sewing Accessories

Model stitched by Linda Nelson

Here is the second in our series of 'Beautiful Boxtops'. This time I have designed a gorgeous matching pin cushion and scissor fob to complete the set. Worked on 28 count 'Platinum' Cashel Linen, and using DMC linen threads, the design reflects the gentleness of a bygone era, when the ladies of the court sat together on warm afternoons. Perhaps they chose a secluded nook of the castle's walled garden, full of cottage flowers and climbing roses, to sit and work on their embroidery and catch up on the day's news.

Elegant Initials ~ First in a series of 'Beautiful Boxtops'

Inspired by the traditional shapes and alphabets to be found in old samplers, I have created this little treasure box and it's needlecase companion to keep those special stitching accessories safe and sound!

All the letters of the alphabet are included in the pamphlet, as well as templates and instructions to complete the little needlecase. Model stitched on 32 count Antique White Belfast Linen.
