First, despite my desire to not finish March's Woodland Sampler before the last week of this month, it just stitched up way too fast!
I think I finished it in like two nights. I like them to last awhile because this is what I do when Jake wants to watch tv. I really don't like to just sit there!
The only edit I made to this little mushroom is that I did not add the eyes and mouth. I never really understood the desire to put faces on things that don't have faces... But, I still love this little mushroom! So much that I actually used him in my next little project!
A needle book!
This little needle book was inspired by the Woodland Sampler. I used this amazing tutorial from Amy.
I tried to use all my favorite yellow and green fabrics on the back. We have some Lizzy House, Jenean Morrison, and that Quilted Fish yellow chevron that I seemed to use in all my projects when I first found it...
It's so cute and adorable! I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. Just to illustrate how badly I needed this little needle book... Here is my previous method of storing needles...
Seriously? Ridiculous. This needle book was totally called for.
I hope you have a happy Friday and a great weekend!

Your needlebook is so fun. I've made some earlier, but now you inspire me to make a new one. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI could use one of those too, my method looks a lot like your old one. :) Nice finishes!
ReplyDeleteThat mushroom is super cute, and we are on the same page about the face.
ReplyDeleteI love that needle book. I may need to make one like that for my hand quilting needles.
ReplyDeleteLove! Everything is so cute. Keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteI love the needle case - I can either never find my needles and go through packets, or I find them in places I was not expecting, usually standing on them. Great idea - thanks for sharing. Might even make one for my mum :-), as a thinking of you gift.
ReplyDeletecongrats on being first. I was last week. You've got some cute stuff going on in your post.
