Historical Embroidery News...

Another StitchyBox and a Give-Away!

22/2/2021

22 Comments

 
After my first review of one of the StitchyBoxes I had ordered, I thought it would take longer for the second one to arrive. However, it came within a week after my first review :). This one took a little over six months to arrive and with shipping and custom's fees, it also cost €114 or $138. This particular box is called "Pacific Northwest Countdown Box" and contained 30 pretty little wrapped goodies. So let's see what they look like unwrapped! And read to the end of this blog for the Give-Away :).
Picture
The Pacific Northwest box contains:
- three 8 yards skeins of stranded variegated Flower Silk by StitchyBox (Mountain air, Driftwood and Blue spruce)
- skein of 8 yards of stranded Beaver grey French spun silk "Stitchy Silk" by Stitchy Box (NOTE: the other three silk skeins are spun silk too!).
- 8 yards skein of Colour & Cotton Pine Needles variegated stranded cotton
- skein of The Gentle Art variegated stranded cotton Stormy Morning (StitchyBox exclusive)
- 50 yards skein of overdyed #12 perle by Threadworx (#1015)
- 17,5 x 23 cm piece of cotton quilt fabric for finishing
- 17,5 x 22 cm piece of thick hand-dyed wool felt
- 23,5 x 33 cm piece of hand-dyed 32ct linen
- 23,5 x 42,5 piece of 32ct gingham linen
- 3 gr Miyuki mini fringe beads, 3x 2gr Toho beads 11/0, 1gr Delica beads 11/0, 1gr Miyuki beads 15/0, 15 2mm agate beads, 6 natural 5mm sunstone rounds and 5 Swarovski rose montees.
- four charms, tiny needle minder, wooden pendant, wood slice for finishing, twill tape for finishing and a sticker.
- Pretty little Seattle cross-stitch chart by Satsuma Street and Festive little fobs woodland edition by Heartstring Samplery.

The contents of the second StitchyBox confirms my opinion of these boxes. They are fun, but probably not a good deal if you live outside the USA and have to deal with high shipping costs and custom's fees. I love the skeins of thread and will lovingly add them to my stash. The beads are also a welcome addition to my collection. Less sure about the slice of wood and the sticker. But that is probably me :).

And whilst I love to cross-stitch, the above three designs from my two StitchyBoxes are not things I would ever stitch. This brings us to the Give-Away! If you would like to receive all three designs (Oh Whale by Handson Design, Tribal Sand Dollar by White Willow Stitching and Pretty little Seattle by Satsuma Street) you need to do very little:

1) leave a comment on THIS blog in which you tell us which of the three designs is your favourite (this is to satisfy my curiosity).
2) make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter (this is obvious, I am a business after all)

Please do alert your friends to this opportunity. The GiveAway will end Sunday 28-02-2021 midnight CET. I will announce the winner in the next blog. The designs will be shipped through Deutsche Post with a tracking code. Good luck!

Hi Jessica, I love your detailed analysis of Ecclesiastical Embroidery! Of the three designs shown, I would probably stitch the 'Oh! Whale'. I love primitive cross-stitch - there is something immediate and raw about them, but they have a certain abstract charm too! Happy Stiching! Bernadette

I like the Pretty Little Seattle best, the colors are amazing and even though the needlepoint has rain clouds, it looks like Seattle on a rare sunny day!

Love the whale design and with a few personal touches it would look great on the wall of my sewing room.
Thanks Jessica.

Hi
I actually like the sand dollar best.
But I’m outside the US so I’m not sure if that disqualifies me.
Regards
Ellen

Hoi Jessica wederom veel informatie!geweldig zoals jij dit doet. Het pakket is om je vingers bij af te likken, maar soms zijn de invoerrechten wel erg hoog. Uitpakken is dan toch een feest. Pretty little Seattle by Satsuma Street dat vind ik leuk ook vanwegen de kleuren. Veel succes met alles liefs Mabel🧵👍

My favorite is probably the whales, I like HOD anyway and the whales would fit with a couple of other charts I have to make a cute set of smalls. The sand dollar chart is cute too. I am not so big a fan of Staying Street and have no interest in Seattle so I am with you there. I find your blog very interesting and follow it by have never had any interest in fieldwork. Stumpwork and thread embroidery are my interests in historic embroidery. Thank you for the many interesting things you cover in the blog. Even if I have no desire to do homework, the history is interesting to read.
