This is an ort box (a place to put all the loose odds and ends of your thread, pins, or whatever you want to put in it) that doubles as a name tag. When you are at a stitching gathering (such as our Friday Night Stitching) you can place it in front of your spot on the table, and then everyone can see your name.
You can also modify it and make it a frame weight or a pincushion if you wish by simply filling it with shot or batting and stitching the top edges shut. Or, if you are a little on the eccentric side, you can attach it to a rigid headband and then you'll have a tiara.
