Yellow Roses Needle Case Limoges Box

Modeled on an old fashioned needle case, this porcelain box is wreathed in yellow and golden roses. The piece was painted by hand and made in Limoges, France, with the traditional, antique look of a sewing basket heirloom.

From Grandmother's Sewing Basket

Before plastic cases and magnetic pin cushions, needles were kept in slim decorative holders, often carried in a sewing basket or pocket. This porcelain version recalls that habit, turning an everyday tool of the seamstress into a small, decorative tribute.

For the Quilting Circle

Set it beside a sewing machine, on a shelf in a craft room, or in a cabinet of family heirlooms. It makes a thoughtful present for a quilter, seamstress, knitter or cross-stitch enthusiast, and a lovely thank-you to the person who hemmed a wedding dress or taught someone to sew. Yellow roses, a symbol of friendship, make it especially fitting for a sewing circle friend.
