Le Coffre Du Trésor De la Reine - $8.00
(The Queen's Treasure Chest)


A stitching caddy fit for a Queen ... This design was inspired by my travels to France last year and my continuing fascination with all things 'Marie Antoinette'. The outside of the box has been kept deliberately beautiful and plain ... with the intial band on the ribbon giving just a hint of what might be inside ... then untie the ribbon to discover the glorious stitching treasure within!

As you lift the lid the front panel falls open, revealing swags of roses, hearts, bows, tassels and pearls. Drawn thread pleated pockets run around three walls, in which to tuck your favourite stitcher's toys, a scissor slide can be found on the front panel to house a beautiful pair of embroidery scissors, and a mattress pin cushion is anchored to the base to hold divine pearl headed pins ... and everywhere you look there are delicate silk ribbon bows!

Stitched on 32 count 'White' Belfast Linen from Zweigart, using Gloriana and Dinky Dye silk threads and ribbons, this project actually stitches up quite quickly - but will require some patience to assemble.
