Well here it is. My new needle case with the lovely crinoline lady on too.
I’d love to know who gave me the original needle case as it’s been with me for years. I’m pretty sure it was given to me at a Palmetto Tat Days many years ago. In fact since writing yesterday Martha has told me who it was. Kathy H. I'd like to say 'thank you' to her once again and I hope to meet up with her again this September.
The needle case is back in use again now and it will be taking it's weekly trip to Alcester later today to Crafternoon.
I'm taking Juliana with me as it's taking ages and ages to sew her onto a backing fabric. Something mindless I can do when I'm chatting to my friends.
The crinoline Lady looks quite at home on her new needlecase, and as good as new. The colour is one of your suggestions, as I remember- " pink cocoa"?
ReplyDeleteThat’s right, Maureen but I didn’t want to brag about that and take attention away from the tatting.
ReplyDeleteLovely in her new home. The edging is a good idea, neat and giving protection to the main fabric.
ReplyDeleteShe goes beautifully with that fabric!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe needle case looks wonderful. The pink cocoa lady looks very pretty with the fabric you used for the needle case.
