I know, hard to believe after not many posts due to the holidays, but here I am again! I found this great little tutorial on Nanacompany blog and just had to make one. That is unusual for me, but what the hey!
It's a needle book! I made it in just a couple of hours following the easy tutorial and picking out my fabrics. I am always searching for needles and heaven knows I have enough of them, just keep losing them!
The back of the book is a small patchwork. I used some fabrics from my charm swap I did this summer with Ellison Lane Quilts. I put my GrammieQ label on one end just for fun. I thought that was better than trying to put my name on it.
She suggested embellishing the felt pages. I also scalloped the edges with my scallop rotary cutting blade.
I love the fancy little touches in here. In fact, I have since put some of my tapestry needles through the holes in the eyelet lace. They fit perfectly.
The little tape measure thing is a piece of twill I got at the Purl. I am really loving this little book. Go visit Nanacompany and make one of your own. Also it would make a great gift!
