Lynn has stitched another of Blackbird's wonderful boxes! This box is from Hobby Lobby, and Lynn finished it herself. Be careful when picking out your box. Lynn had a hard time finding one without flaws or missing screws or pins. 
Notice the blue lines - you remove a linen thread and replace it with a blue thread before you begin your stitching. This blue line weft thread is called a learning line, placed every 10 threads. This was commonly used during he 1820s to 1840s to help teach young children. The photos that Lynn sends are always so beautifully staged.
