Artwork by Heather Gretton Art When we first dreamed up this box, we knew we wanted to find a way to send a stitching mat. These have become popular accessories at stitching events.They are also extremely useful with pockets for storing scissors, pens, extra needles, notions, etc. This mat also includes a thread bed, a magnet closure which doubles as a minder, hooks for floss rings, and a larger pocket for you to slip a hoop, or your pattern into.
