I am enjoying the needle turn more and more, but man the piecing of them wee bits eek –and also them strippy borders will challenge me to the end as I’m one of them matchy types and am trying real hard to mix it up some, I changed my Suitcase tags to some of the places that I have visited that will stay in my memory for ever.

cheers Vickie

Love kitty sneaking into the pics. This needleturn is a bit tricky in places isn't it. Nice to do something new & be pushed though. Your results are great. Tracee xx
