This sewing set is a collaboration finishing design with my friend Marinella Paoletti, alias Mingiustitch who has designed a similar set, with another stitched design, but the same finishing process. We both used Stitches and Spice threads and fabric and we both enjoyed the lovely creations of Naomi, the owner and artist of Stitches and Spice. We have used a three baskets set from IKEA to create a complete sewing companion with scissors pocket, thread winder pocket, pincushion, needlebook, scissors fob, pinkeep. You will have a lot of fun in stitching this model !!!!

Dedicated to my beloved and unforgettable friend Kris Stott (Norden Crafts), this basket and stitcher’s sewing accessories represent a loving family, house and pets, flowers and trees in an antique sampler style. While we attended the 2009 Nashville show, Kris showed me the lovely baskets of Lantern Moon and we chose together threads and ribbons for a new model she wanted me to design for the basket........

This design has a true story since it was inspired by my first journey to Canada in August 2005. My husband had worked as a medical doctor in Canada at the beginning of his career and wanted to see again this wonderful Country and to take us to Montreal and Quebec.

I decided to stitch a Christmas tuned pincushion doll and thimble purse as a special token of love for kids bearing serious diseases. I was deeply touched to know that Make a Wish International ......

I decided to stitch this pincushion doll after the great success of my “A Christmas Doll Pincushion and Thimble Purse”, designed two years ago. I hope you enjoy this new model as well.
This Pincushion Doll is dedicated to my dearest sister Alfonsina, amazing wife, mother, teacher, magistrate and………. last but not least……. my wonderful friend!
