Pat B is one of the Guild’s very accomplished embroiderers and she loves to make decorative boxes.
An etui is a small ornamental box for holding needles, thimbles etc.
We have been photographing a series of her boxes for the Members Gallery and I couldn’t resist sharing this etui that Pat designed with you. If you’d like to look at the detail just click on any photo to enlarge it.
…..and here’s a view of the other side…..
Pat has created an etui in the style that opens up flat once the box is opened:
Would you like a closer look at the inside of the etui?
Well here’s the side with the comfy armchair and lamp:
This one has a warm fireplace with a striking portrait above it:
….this wall is full of crafty things:
…..and this one has a relaxing view through the window..
And guess who’s enjoying all this?
Pat says that this little creature gets very upset if it’s mistaken for a cat or a dog…….it is its own whimsical self!
Enjoy!
