Just a little something

I’m big into quick sewing projects these days.  I love it when I can decide to make something, sit down and have it done all in one session, especially on those magical days when quiet time coincides with a baby nap.

I made this little needle book for my sister’s birthday and sent it to her with a nice bunch of embroidery floss.  She does amazing freehand stitching (like embroidering 12 different scenes from Roald Dahl books onto a quilt made of old t-shirts) so it’s fun to send her things like this.

I got the general idea from a project in Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts (which is a totally fun book by the way) but then just made it up from there.  It was a fun little project and now I have to make one for myself.  :)
