What is a needle worker to do?

Making needle minders are so addictive! Just thought

that I would show you some more that I made.

Thanks for visiting!

Take care & have a nice weekend.

Minding the needle

I am so excited! Needle Minders can be made

in a matter of a minute. There are no boundaries

in the creativity that you have. Take a look at mine. All of

them work very well. They costed me about 2 to 2.50 each

that is except for the bee. He was an extravagant piece that

I just had to possess. The blue lady which is a small piece of

Toile is reversible. The other side is a different fabric - with navy blue. The

rose one is also reversible but with the same fabric. Look - no magnet

thats because the magnet is hid on the inside.

I absolutely LOVE

the green ones. They are my favorites. My needle stands straight

up in the holes & I can

put multiple needles on them if I wish.

Dont be afraid of making them - they are easy. Anyone who sews

could use a needle minder - even a quilter. It will work very well if you

quilt on a frame or in a hoop. Thread a few needles &

let it hold them until you are ready to use each one.

You will be able to quilt faster. I could have used one of

these things years, years ago. Hey, do you think

that this could replace a needlebook?

Thanks for visiting me! Come again soon.

I just happened to go

into the thrift store & among the books - I found

the pattern for the Strawberry Basket. It is a 1983

pattern by Dale Burkett.

Do you need a fancy

needlebook? Does it take you hours to make? Yes everyone

would love to have beautiful things around them.

But when you dont have the time to make one

then why not use a fabric coaster. I have a set of 4

of these Daisy's. Pin your needles on

the front if you dont mind them being seen.

Or pin on the back into the felt. Another

option is sewing 2 of them back to back, be sure to

leave an opening to slip the needles in between.

Thought I would show you

a cutie. Its called Wee Grandparents by heart in hand needleart. So much

fun to do. Little projects are nice because they dont take so long to stitch.

I thought that you would

like to see my new Biscornu that I designed & stitched. I call it Flower Medley.

One side is brown & pink with a velvet chocolate brown

flower & the other side is yellow and pink with a velvet

pink flower. The brown & pink side stitches up very quickly.

The yellow side takes a little longer. Give me a little time & I will

post the pattern for you. By the way I forgot to tell you that on the

Phantam Butterfly biscornu the blank squares are for you to

stitch in them whatever you want. Some tiny roses or vines would look

cute on that. I hope to get around to stitching that one soon.

I hope that you like Flower Medley.
