These are the goodies I made for my partner Barbara in Texas She received them last week and I think was quite pleased
The Victorian needle case was what I made for her from the lovely peices she sent The rest were just a few little extras
Now Iam waiting patiently for my parcel to arrive
Everything looks wonderful...but...your box is AWESOME! Fantastic job! I'm sure she was very pleased with her package!

ReplyDeleteI am the recepient of all those wonderful gifts. The Victorian Needle Box is something I will treasure forever. I was going to ask for a pattern but recently came across one. They are called
ReplyDeleteEtuis and were first made by soldiers and seamen in the 19th century. They were based on a Chinese concept of a box within a box. As you can see I have been doing some research on them. Illene, I want to post it on the Snickerdoodle dreams flickr page but not sure where to go to do it, Help.

Your needlebox is great. I searched high and low for this pattern a few years ago, and its a real sense of achievement once you have finished - looks terrific.
