Everything we make, we make with our four hands. Individual differences will occur in any handcrafted item. It's these differences that make them special!

All of our items are made in limited numbers - when they're gone, they're gone! We do not make more. Instead, we move on to something new! Check back often to see what we're up to!

While billet-doux is French for "love letter", the literal translation is "sweet note". We thought that struck just the right note for this sweet piece perfect for a Secret Sister gift or that special stitcher.

A Sweet Note for Thee

Because we used motifs from a Quaker sampler, "A Sweet Note for Thee" seemed the perfect name for our little note. Decorated with coordinating ribbon, this little beauty is a practical gift, too - it holds a lovely Kelmscott mother-of-pearl ruler in it's own pocket, and Swarovski crystal beaded pins nestled in 100% wool felt alongside some tapestry needles.

1817. Sarah Almy’s Sampler Wrought in the 11th year of her age, 10th month. American. Private collection.
