I have just spent the last 10 days on Ile de Re, a beautiful island off the west coast of France, just over the bridge from la Rochelle. What a beautiful place, full of sunshine and the most beautiful light in which to stitch.
Last month I designed a little hardanger pincushion ...

... so over the course of the holiday I decided to design a piece to go with it. I had origially thought of turning it into a needle book, but when it was finished I decided it would look just perfect mounted on the lid of a hand-painted box.

Now I have a box for my pincushion and other stitching bits and pieces. Both designs were stitched on 28 count Antique White evenweave using DMC perle #8 no 712.
And here is what I did with the inside of the box - I lined it with some scrummy chocolate coloured silk fabric.
