Gwen stitched on all 4 sides of the box as well as the top! For the top design she chose Joy Ambigram by Meg Shinall which is in TGOS Nov 2011 issue. On 3 sides of the box she stitched A Colonial Christmas Ornament by Cherished Stitches which is in the JCS 2007 Ornament issue. On the last panel she stitched our initials and HOE 2011. She used the most gorgeous dyed fabric as well as DMC & Anchor threads. I love how she designed this box! It is stunning! When I opened the box I found 3 tiny presents! Gwen also included a needle minder, needle threader and needle holder which she also decorated!
I cannot Thank You enough Gwen for this gorgeous treasure!
I absolutely LOVE everything!
I mailed my box exchange to my partner today. As soon as I hear that she received it I will post a picture of my creation.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
