Protect small treasures with a simple yet intricate cross stitch pincushion that doubles as a lid for a pot or box. The stitched model is shown mounted on a handmade oval shaker box made by Keith Shorrock Furniture in Cumbria. The method used to create the lid is included in the instructions so you can add a lid to any box or pot you want to decorate. You can use the same method for any piece of stitching - just keep a look out for pretty vintage sugar bowls or tea cups in local charity shops to use as bases! Stitch count: 62 x 35 Stitches used: cross stitch, padded satin stitch, ladder stitch (for constructing as pincushion) Eight-page booklet + charts, including: colour pictures of finished piece, stitch diagrams and full assembly instructions. Materials required: 32ct Antique White linen, DMC floss, Kreinik blending filament (optional), quilt wadding, felt and box for mounting (we recommend https://keithshorrockfurniture.co.uk).
