I have a large quantity of hand sewing needles for all different purposes. I use straws or milliners needles for hand quilting, embroidery needles for cross stitch, small quilting needles for applique and then ordinary sewing needles for taking up a hem or stitching on a button.
Until now I haven't had a home for all those stray needles other than in a pincushion or stuck into the end of the ironing board.
I made the little dragonfly cross stitch into a needlecase with woollen 'pages' for the needles.
Oh Kris...just so beautiful
