How much fun it was to receive these photos from Maria of her Quaker Schoolgirl Necessities!
Maria, who lives in Napoli (Naples), told me that needlework is her passion. She worked this project using the same linen and threads I used on my model.
The first photo shows the front of Maria's sewing case, the inside of her needlebook, and the scissors sheath.
This next photo shows the outside of her needlebook, the reverse side of her scissors sheath, and the back of her sewing case.
And here is the inside of her sewing case along with the needlebook and scissors sheath. Instead of gathering the top edge of pocket as I did on my model, Maria chose to pleat hers. Her lining fabric looks so lovely, don't you agree?
Thank you, Maria, for sharing photos of your lovely work.

Another gorgeous example of your designs! Maria does amazing work!
Oh what a lovely piece and the stitching is wonderful, nice job Maria.
I love this piece - so beautifully finished too! I admire people who do finishing well! I have to practice to get better and am inspired by many others! Thanks for sharing...sherry
Really beautifully done. I love the pleats for the pocket.
Yet more gorgeous finishes to tempt us :o) I too love the pleated pocket, I might try that on Cherished Workes, which I think will be my next assembly project.
Maria, as usual, makes little masterpieces!
