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!

Coordinating with our Quick Start Sets, these pretty thread palettes round out your stitching supplies. Each palette has 12 generous-sized holes to hold a full skein of your floss. The holes are carefully punched and smoothed to take care of your special threads. Made from art board and adorned with a photograph of antique needlework, the palettes are about four inches square, and will fit into your stitching basket or project bag along with your Quick Start Sets!
