My Stitching Box - Cross Stitch Pattern by Jeannette Douglas

The box top, smalls and sampler were stitched on 32 ct. We have gone from commonly used 32ct fabric in 2018 to 36 or 40 or higher here in 2023 as the silk threads have better coverage and we like the finished look, but this one still has 32 count.

The smalls include: 2 scissors fobs, scissors pocket, needlebook, pincushion, cube, and sampler. All finishing instructions included in chart.

The cut linen size we used was 21 x 27 and I will put a layout on the JDD website.

As an FYI- For the sampler box top -to fit the space it needs to be on 32ct unless you adjust and make another border or some such thing. On the cube it has a whole side that is over one, that also becomes more difficult on a higher count.

Cabranmary Woods built a new box for this piece. We had used a Lone Elm Lane box previously but since LEL has been unable to continue to make them CW has kindly helped. I appreciate that CW stepped in and made a very lovely replacement. 

The piece was stitched with silk threads, there is a DMC conversion in the chart. There is a silk thread package that includes all the colours and the charms, buttons, and beads necessary to stitch the piece.
