After spinning my wheels for a couple of weeks and cleaning out my sewing room and and and I finally finished a couple of circles I sort of liked.
I also have been working on the motifs for the other two panels. These travel easily when stitching with friends.
I also wanted to share my needle index book with you as I linked to Susan Elliots Plays with Needles.
I first got this in early 2002 when I took a class from Jane Nicholas. The class supply list required 10 different needles. I bought a large package of assorted John James needles and a needle index created by the Valley Quail Chapter of the EGA in Walnut Creek, CA. I filled it for the class and have never stopped using it. I love it.

I add a page in the back to honor my broken and very bent needles.
Your work brings such a big smile to my face. It's so happy and LOVELY and wonderful. It makes me want to photograph it ;o)
ReplyDeleteI like your added page at the back of your needle book. Maybe we should both found the Bent Beading Needle Society. Much love and thanks for playing! Susan
I love your work! I haven't done any embroidery for a long time since I've been focusing on beadwork.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have a needlecase I inherited from my grandmother. It seems to have every needle ever invented.
