Better Late Than Never

I have completed my needle case, a little late, but Oh well.... Sewing should be stress less....

Thank you Chooky for a great stitch along. This is the first one I have ever done and it did make me get motivated to finish projects. I have completed them all and given some away as gifts already.
It was also a great way to complete more than one project out of those beautiful books.  thanks for organising it for us.

 Thank you to all the ladies who participated , I have enjoyed looking at your stitching and  seeing your  creativity in  each project.      Happy Stitching.



Off to a good start... should never leave things to the last minute.

I have tried to use mostly fabrics deigned by Anni
