"I cannot count my day complete.... til needle thread and fabric meet!”
This beautiful little needlework caddy will give you endless enjoyment as you stitch and finish it! It is shaped like a small clutch purse, with a flat bottom, and a gusset on each side decorated with pulled thread eyelets. On the back of the etui you will find a lovely saying with some sweet floral sprigs, and on the front is a flap decorated with pots of specialty stitched flowers. It opens up to a beautifully lined interior, an attached piece of felt for your needles, and a roomy interior to hold all your special tools. The bottom even has four tiny buttons to stand on! The colours are soft and antique looking, overdyed silks make this piece an instant heirloom. This is a beautiful gift for yourself, or for a special stitching friend. You will be proud to use it at your next stitching retreat! The stitches are a wonderful challenge, but not too difficult for most stitchers. Enjoy working this lovely etui and scissors fob, and create a special heirloom stitching accessory! - Linda
