A Completed Project.

 

 My friend Helen had made a needle case ( for packets of needles ) with a 3 rows of tiny hexagons across the middle and ribbon ties to close it.
 I took the measurement and changed the way it looks by designing my own felt Iceland poppies for the outside covering.


 On the inside are pockets for packets or whatever I like.

 To close it, it folds into 3 and because I didn't want ties spoiling my flowers I have used 2 domes. on the corners. The binding is a pretty batik fabric I already had. Apart from sewing the binding on it  and defining the pockets it was a hand stitched project ( very portable ). It used up some of my large supply of felt and embroidery cottons.
 I am really pleased with the results.
      ******
 Despite throwing lots of rots ( caused by last weeks heavy rain ) on the lawn for the birds 

 I managed to pick this bowl of strawberries. I have left some big ripe ones for the 2 grandsons to find ( and eat ).

Love your version of the needle case. I should make one to organise my messy collection of needles. I'd need 'pages' though in which to stick the needles as mine always seem to fall out of their original package once opened. As I'm in the middle of reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," your strawberries are especially moth watering!

What a beautiful needle case. The fabric for the poppies is perfect. We have been picking strawberries too from a random plant we don’t remember planting that has gone crazy. 3 big bowls so far. We can’t believe it. Yummo. Enjoy yours. 🍓

Beautiful needle case! How lovely to be able to go places with people. Alas, we can't go anywhere far from home and certainly can't see many people, because of Covid-19. Sigh.
