Retreat Goodies
I just love going to quilting retreats. I get so much done and have a lot of fun. When I go to a retreat I like to make a little something for the other participants. It adds to the fun for me.
In March I made these needle books that really were more work than I should have done, but I loved how they came out. All the ladies loved them.
The inside pages consist of a whole page of felt and one of linen. I added a aida cloth square to hold needles and then a fancy trim and buttons for holding some pins. They were really not too hard to make, I just would do it differently next time. I made 28 of these little gifts, but did not need but half that many in the long run.
