Home Sweet Home

Price: $30.95

    Discover the hidden secrets of this exquisite embroidered workbox. Home Sweet Home by Carolyn Pearce is an international needlework phenomenon that has captured the imagination of stitchers the word over.

    The book itself weighs under 2 lbs but when a box is added to protect it the weight goes up. If you are ordering more than one book it won't be accurate as we can combine more than one book in a box.

    The supplies the author calls for are below. Several of them are not threads we carry or import into the US. But you can certainly change what you use to make it your own.

    Natural linen fabric for Walls and Base - we recommend Strahaven linen. You'll need a Half Yard (18x54)

    Permin 28 count linen Olive Green/Dusty Green  - Stitcher's Eighth. This fabric is no longer milled. We suggest 28 coun Thyme (hand-dyed) or Waterlily.

    We are open Tue-Sat 11am-3pm PT for orders, pickup and appointments. We are not able to accept Expedited orders at the present time. Many of our vendors are still taking longer to supply us due to increased demand and supply chain issues. If you only want items we have in stock, please mark your order Ship Partial Cancel Incomplete Items. While we would love to be able to give firm ETAs for items we are out of, that's not possible with the disruption COVID-19 continues to cause across the supply chain.

    We hope that everyone stays safe and we truly appreciate your support.



    Russian customers: We are unable to accept orders being sent to Russia or using a payment method with that as the country of origin due to sanctions.

    EU & UK customers: We are no longer shipping orders less than £135 (~$170USD) to the UK or €150 (~$165USD) to the EU due to VAT requirements imposed by the EU & UK governments. If you are in the EU or UK and you order is over £135/€150, we can send it an you will be responsible for VAT when it is delivered. For orders under that amount, we would suggest having us send it to a Freight Forwarder in the US, which can then handle the requiste paperwork for VAT. We hope the UK & EU governments will adjust the rules to limit its scope to large scale businesses, but we're not confident that will happen.
