(I always start my blog posts as if I am writing a letter…I even tend to do this with text messages. Is this old fashioned? I notice most of the blogs I follow just start writing almost as if the conversation never ended. So, what’s the go? Do I say hello or just get into it?)
That’s enough thinking aloud for one post…I participated in a Needlebook swap, organised by Samelia’s Mum over on facebook. I thought it would be a fun little project. And I loved thinking about what I could make and then doing it!
This is what I made for my partner. I could not resist using the Mama Said Sew range by Sweetwater.
My partner said she liked blue so I added a hint in the inside.
And the back. I put the closure on the back, a little piece of velcro because I didn’t want to detract from the hexi flower on the front. I was inspired by this needlebook but I didn’t follow a tute I just made it up as I went.
And this is the cute little needlebook I received -
I especially love the Friends plaque! It is on the shelf above my sewing machine!
Now I need to finish my mini for the Down Under Doll Quilt Swap (DUDQS) and post by the end of this week. I have already received mine (and I love it) but I will wait and do a full post once my partner gets hers!
By for now,
Jess :)
Lovely Jess, both of them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful needle books
ReplyDeleteYour needle book is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little needle book. I just love the hexie flower on the front, and the tape measure on the inside.
ReplyDeleteI think it's lovely the way you always address your readers. And no, it doesn't feel like a letter or an email, it feel friendly. The needle book you've made is very nice; I like all the little details. How big is it? It probably looks bigger in the pictures than it is in reality. You also got a lovely one in return.
ReplyDeletegorgeous needle books. And I like it when you say hello :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your all your needlebooks, all so pretty and different, particularly the hexagon flower one. I adore all things hexagon!!
