New Trinket Box Finish

This piece was stitched on white using HDF silks by another lady. Sandy got it all ready to frame and then I made the box for it to go into. The color paint is a perfect match to the silk used as the main color.

Trinket box

On this one, I made the box to the size to accomodate the design that was being used. Both Sandy and I like how this turned out.

A lovely Burled box

This is a gorgeous stitched piece mounted into the lid of a burled box. The box can be reproduced if wanted.

Claudia's Spool Storage Box for the wall

This box was made to Claudia's specifications to hold all of her silk floss spools. Painted in a rich, deep chocolate brown. The front of the box is made to hold your stitched piece. Scroll down to the white box with the stitched cats on the front to see what it would look like.

Spool Storage

This box is made to hang on a wall with removable spindle shelves for spool storage. The 'cover' opens from the right and is intended to have a picture (stitched or otherwise) inserted into the frame. The spindles are offset so you can see your thread color without having to remove the shelf. As always, we'd love to hear from you in you're interested in a special spool storage unit for yourself.
This is another shelf configuration. You can store the regular spools on the thin pegs and mini spools on the larger pegs. Mini's can be stacked 3 high to equal the regular spool height.

Decorated Hornbook

For my wife, she already had the chart picked out that she wanted to mount to the front of the hornbook so the size I made was pre-determined. Of course you can go smaller or larger depending upon what you want to mount on yours.

HORN BOOKS

My wife asked me to make her a hornbook (I didn't even know what it was!). This is the hornbook without any stitched ornamentation. As with all things, I'm finding that the final size is determined by the person wanting one. So email me with questions and I'll be happy to see about creating one for you.

MORE THREAD WINDERS

Here are a few new thread winders. Actually, it might only be the heart that is totally new.

Thread/floss winders

These thread/floss winders are hand carved. The 'design' is always different due to wood variations. They make nice little gifts for your needleworking friends.
