Up until now my needles never had a proper place to stay; they were either pinned on a piece of cloth, or on cardboard. I have been promising myself to make something pretty for the needles for the longest time.
I got these tiny cross stitch pattern kits maybe 6-7 years ago from a family friend. I had started one but never completed. I recently stumbled upon them while sorting out the craft box.
This time I had patience to finish it to the end. Then used it in the design for this needle case.
Finally, my needles have a happy home now.. no more getting mixed up with the pins.
Thank you for stopping by,
Until next time,
Gaia
a very pretty needle case, believe it or not I still use one my daughter made when at junior school, she is 40 now
ReplyDeleteIt is nice for something so practical to be so pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteA very feminine needle case :) My needles are stuck in the back of a small quilted square (and have been for about 20 years!) ... I too keep thinking I should make a small book to organize them. Wendy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy. I have another kit to finish; probably I will make another.
DeleteYour needle case looks lovely Gaia! I have a few that I've made and enjoy using.
ReplyDeleteYou will enjoy your needlecase very long - if you keep it for yourself. I got one of a friend - and she comes to my mind whenever i stitch into it - haha - but with love!
