A Sampler or Needleroll, Scissors Fob, and Needlebook... During Victorian times, ladies would often make stitched items, or buy small tokens of affection for their friends. These “Friendship Tokens” were usually exquisite little needlework accessories, like pincushions, scissor keeps, needlebooks or small painted items. This lovely set of four co-ordinating needlework accessories is an elegant addition to any collection. The brass rose heart charms, soft overdyed silk flosses, pearls, and precious heart shaped beads, enhance the Victorian elegance of each item. The sampler can be framed or finished as a charming needleroll, as shown on the front cover. The needlebook is full of surprises! Open it, and you will find a lovely blanket stitch Hardanger flower in the center of the next design. Open it fully, and there’s a place for all your needles and the words “Stitching Friends are Close at Heart”! Turn it over, and on the back is a place to add a personalization! Give these Friendship Tokens to your stitching friends, or add them to your own collection.. with love, - Thea
