In The Company Of Friends

A wonderful little primer, disguised as a needle book - inspired by an antique and adorned with images from antique samplers. Inside, you’ll find an accordion-fold-out "book" with a spot to hold your needles nestled in a bed of wool felt and three small charts of motifs found pictured on the other side of the foldout. There are pictures of your ABC’s - with a motif to illustrate each letter. It all folds up and out of sight in this adorably tiny paper box featuring a photo of an alphabet sampler, with a hand-painted faux leather finish.
