For years I've stored all my needles stuck in various scraps of fabric. And since they were just tossed in a drawer would frequently jab my fingers on the points. Time to do something about it - a needlebook was soon underway.
8 orphan HST's bought from the scrap barrel at one of my fav quilt stores in town made for a fun cover.
And what I have to admit is a not-so-pretty string-pieced block was used for the inside of the needlebook. I was foolish enough to buy this in a bag of scraps from the quilt store.
Inner pages were made from a piece of aida cloth that had been in my moms stash and a scrap piece of batting. Embroidery needles will go on the aida cloth, sewing needles into the batting.
A button and piece of ribbon to keep it closed when not needing a needle and it was finished off.
Gratitudes:
1. I didn't break any bones when I argued with a sidewalk, just deep bruising.
2. Weather is getting wonderful to be out in for my walking these days, and that makes the need to exercise so much easier as I work to get ready for needed surgery (hopefully next year).
