A Petit Sampling Etui
(suggested retail $28.00)

A Petit Sampling Etui is a limited-edition collaboration project (limited to 2000 charts) from Cherished Stitches, Praiseworthy Stitches, The Stitching Parlor, and With My Needle. 

Each outer panel of the etui is a small sampler. These samplers can be assembled into an etui following the detailed assembly instructions in the package. The samplers can also be stitched  and framed individually or together on a single piece of linen.

The top and bottom panels of the etui feature motifs from the side panels.  Inside the etui , the heart theme from the outer panels, is carried through with heart-shaped wool needlepages, pockets,  scissors, and threads rings.  When opened up, silk gussets keep the panels from falling flat.  Silk ribbons keep the sides together, and a stitched button closes the top. The etui measures approximately 6 inches square--a generous size for holding your tools.

The etui is stitched with Crescent Colours cotton overdyed thread on 36-count Pearled Barley linen from Lakeside Linens

This limited-edition design  will premier at the Nashville Market in February 2009. 
Shops not attending the market can place orders with Praiseworthy Stitches  (praiseworthystch@bellsouth.net) phone: 704-922-9602) starting February 17, 2009.  All orders will be subject to availability.  Orders must be prepaid.

We hope that you will enjoy our etui as much as we did designing it for you!
