Sewing Notions Porcelain Limoges Box

Spools, needles and all the little notions of the sewing basket inspire this charming porcelain piece. It is a hand-painted Limoges box, made by hand in Limoges, France, for anyone who loves to stitch.

Pins, Needles and Patience

Sewing is an art passed from hand to hand, often from grandmother to mother to daughter. This piece celebrates that quiet craft and the patience it takes to finish a quilt, hem a dress or mend a favorite shirt. It is painted by hand, so every box has its own slight differences.

The Sewing Room Shelf

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a sewing, quilting or needlework collection
• Pairs well with thimble, button and sewing machine pieces

Stitched With Gratitude

This is a thoughtful present for a quilter finishing a big project, a seamstress who altered a wedding gown, or a mother who taught her family to sew. It also makes a fitting thank-you for a quilting guild leader, a home economics teacher or a costume maker.

Place it on a sewing table, a shelf above the machine, or a windowsill in a craft room. It is just the right spot for a few special buttons or a grandmother's thimble.
