It is a small box. It is like a baby casket. Those four little balls are the box's feet. There is a little escutcheon (lock?) What a fun idea - to practice for our caskets by covering a small box with stitching! I can't wait. Dealing with a small box is much less scary (I am less afraid that I will screw it up) than with a very expensive large casket. I wonder how we will attach the stitching to the box. What design will we do?
I finally got my order from SBB. I have become more interested in Sharon Cohen of Nostalgic Needle designs since this casket class has started. I have bid on some of her designs on the Bay of Evil but not won any so I ordered some instead.
I think they are done more in a traditional way. I also got a cute little strawberry design from GPA. I am enamoured of strawberries.
It is a lovely day here. I have so many lovely things to work on. I want to start the Cherished Stitches limited edition kit.
Hope you have a fun day!

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI follow your adventures for some time now but rearely post - shame on me!
It seems to me that your stitching retreat was lots of fun - and that you managed to jump your bank account ;-).
I was really interested on reading your stories about that stitchers casket you're trying to make. Where did you get the idea from? Is it a class or are you doing this entirely on your own? That Cabinet of Curiosities sounds intriguing but I can't find any information about it. Is it a shop or ...?
Have a nice day!
Ann
P.S.: Don't we all need to get to 100 in order to finish everything we have? ;-)
Amy, that mini casket is so cute. I wonder what you will stitch on this one. Looking forward to progress reports :-)
