Another completely finished object this month! This little design is called "Mahogany Flowers," and it is by Samplers and Such. Another pattern I picked up in the exchange pile at Celebration of Needlework, and just HAD to stitch ASAP... I used a nameless skein of Vikki Clayton's silk, and then made a serendipitous find at the thrift store - this old octagonal jewelry box! It had a fake "stained glass" lid inset, held in with screws and brackets. Easy enough to disassemble, and then use the glass as a pattern for my stitching. I didn't get it centered quite right, but I like it all the same.
I glued some fabric to another insert to cover the laced back, and added some braid just because.
