Autumn Box #F14, The Victoria Sampler

Box, Pincushion Tray and Scissors Fob  Store some of your favorite fall stitching materials in this luscious Autumn Box! It is stitched using silk flosses in pumpkin, gold, olive and yellow colours and is the fourth in a set of seasonal needlework boxes for you to stitch and finish! The lid top and sides are fully embroidered as are the inset Pincushion Tray and Fob! I’ve used gorgeous overdyed silk flosses and silk ribbons, including purple sparkling beads.  Be prepared for a few new stitches, some beautiful Silk Ribbon leaves, and enjoy the Cross Stitched areas too. The finishing is so easy when you follow Lisa’s clear directions and coloured photos!
