The Four Seasons Casket

Betsy Morgan

Description

Inspired by embroidered caskets of the Stuart period, intricate boxes made to hold personal items, Betsy Morgan has created a stunning casket showcasing counted thread embroidery, with spaces to hold a matching set of eight needlework accessories.

Drawing on the four seasons, each exquisite casket panel features, motifs inspired by summer, autumn, winter and spring, stitched in lustrous silk threads in a harmonious palette. The lid panel is further embellished with stumpwork and goldwork. The casket designs are echoed in the beautiful accessories: a delightful pincushion that is a miniature form of the main casket, needlebook, emery, thimble bag, scissor sheath, scissor fob, thread holder and spool box.

Colour charts guide every stitch along with detailed instructions for every step from embroidery to construction.
