Mauchline is a town in Scotland, about 11 miles inland from the west coast. The house of Robert Burns has brought fame to the town, and the wooden souvenirs produced to memorialize visits here were so popular, that other areas with attractions began contracting to have souvenirs produced here. This practice began in the early 19th century, with snuff boxes, and soon expanded to every imaginable small wooden item. Most had transfers applied to the surface, but some were worked by hand in Pen Work. These pieces became so popular that even tourist sites in America contracted for their production. Other types of Mauchline Ware had colored images of seaweed, flowers and ferns, or patterned paper surfaces. These are more rare than the transfer print pieces. Very highly collected.

My passion for sewing tools began with my passion for sewing. I made most of my clothes from the time I really learned to sew in Junior High Home Economics class. I also developed a love of embroidery, especially that of the Jacobean period. Later, quilting also entered my circle of interests.
I discovered the world of antique needlework tools quiteaccidentallyduring a trip to London, and was immediately hooked. I began bringing back extras to sell to finance my own collection. I hope that others find things here that they love for their own collections.
