Painted boxes in various sizes, only one finished, lined with leather.
Change the lid's stitchery to suit your mood or the season. Fill the bottom with smalls or seasonals. Less space than a bowl, more visible.
Gourds and acorns with a fall lid, ornaments and greenery for Christmas, vintage sewing items with a sampler, or all smalls, the options are fun!

Like playing with a doll house! Love this!!
Oh you could have fun decorating a box with all your stitcheries ;-)
Greetings Marly: This is a beautiful finish, the box is a better idea than a bowl for sure, I like how you have them arrange in the box, so pretty, you have a talent for decorating.
Have a great week

Great idea Marly! Love the box. How is the sampler attached to the lid - must be simple to be able to change it out?
I love it, Marly! Well done!
I *like* this idea!
Marly, I absolutely love this idea! I really like that you can change out the upper interior whenever you want. Thanks so much for sharing! ♥
This is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long, long, time. And, of course, you have expertly finished the box. Show us the leather inside please! You need to finish a few of these up and offer them for sale...Seriously. ~Robin~
Love your box - I have a few - different - some painted - some old wood. Great to decorate - put one by the fireplace and put a light in it.....
Keep being creative...
It looks fabulous Marly!
Very clever to chance the one in the lid every season. Perhaps some fairylights between the stitcheries with Christmas time?
Take care ,Truus from Holland
Marly, I love this, too. And, the pieces in the box are perfect, too! Cherie in WI
Your box looks fabulous! So full of beautifully stitched pieces! I hadn't seen the Francis Blis sampler before. Can you tell me who's chart that is? I love stitching small samplers.
Tell us more about the boxes, please. Where did you find them? We’re they already painted? And how did you deal with the sampler on the lid?
I love your box. Do you sell them? I'm on Instagram, do you mind sharing your Instagram name? Thanks
Great idea on the box....love the way it looks...may have to "borrow" this idea! :)
Ever so beautiful outcome from a gifted creator. What a charming way to show off the
perfect smalls. Your ideas are always inspiring....
I love boxes anyway and your cross stitch display makes it even better. Thanks for sharing.
