Home Sweet Home workbox

We enjoyed checking out Carol’s delightful embroidered ‘Home Sweet Home’ workbox recently. It took her about a year to finish with bursts of intense stitching and construction followed by letting it rest for a while. The walls and roof are made with cardboard covered with felt under the fabric. There are several small charms amongst the exquisite hand embroidery - so much to look at.

The workbox measures 16 cm high x 15.5 cm long x 9.8 cm wide.

The design is by Carolyn Pearce, whose internationally popular 2011 book ‘Home Sweet Home - An Embroidered Workbox’ published by Inspiration Studios is readily available, sometimes with a kit of all the requirements. The book includes a number of small accessories - Carol hasn’t made them all yet, but she might get there!
