I stick my needles in a pincushion and the hand sewing ones, always get lost.
So, I made this to hold my favorite ones. I used art markers to color in the design, then I stitched around that.
I made it into a trifold, so it has room for needles and scissors. I used velcro for the closure.
My machine stitching was off a bit, but good for practice and since it is mine, it doesn't have to be perfect, just practical;)
The green wool is one of the first wools I ever bought from our local store. It was a cheaper one, but thick, so it felts up too much with washing and dying, but perfect for wool projects.

I also received a wonderful gift in the mail yesterday. We were having an egg contest at our primitive quilt group and Dorothy sent me this wonderful pin keep as a thank you for hosting it. Isn't it wonderful! She also gave me some vintage thread that I can use in my art projects.

Darling idea Debbie, very cute - and what a lovely gift you got! Have to ask though, what is an egg contest?
Creative use of the Red Brolly design. Would look good in my basket of various pin cushions. LOL!
Debbie, It turned out fantastic! You are so creative. Brutus will be most pleased that this was designed around him. I love the use of the markers to add colour, what a great technique!
