Needlebook finish

Here is the second part of my quilt group's theme project. They have 4 small paperpieced quilt blocks they made back in February. The first one was used to make a scissor fob and now two further blocks are being used to create a needlebook.

This is the back of the needlebook. This block is called 'Friendship Ring' and the front block is the 'Pinwheel Star'. By clicking on the photos, you can enlarge them for much more detail.

Here is a photo of the needlebook laying open so you can see both blocks well. I sewed a tiny piece of silk cord as a loop and sewed on a little spool of thread button to close the needlebook.

There are four 'pages' in the book to hold the needles most quilters use. There is a page for size 12, 10 and 8 'betweens' and then the last page is for 'sharps'.

These photos are taken on a background of a piece of Cyprus lace which was given to me as a gift from a very dear friend Angela. I really loved this gift and it looks so pretty with my fabrics that I will display it together on a tray. Thanks so much for you thoughfulness Angela!
