Pinks and pastels seem to be on my mind a lot these days. I don't know what it is, but since I made that pink/ yellow pouch the other day I want to include pink in every. single. project.
Now, since my family does not really care for pinks or pastels, I'm taking it one step at a time. Also, who knows how long this phase of mine will last?
I suspect pouring through these (Mollie Makes Home magazine, Homespun Style, and Happy Home) has something to do with my newly found obsession. All three are full of amazingly beautiful pictures of wonderfully colorful and creative interiors. Eye candy on steroids, seriously. These books make me so ridiculously happy. And there's so much pink in each one of them :)
To start any big, pink project would totally be unreasonable right now as I have quite a few WIPs that need to get finished first. So, to scratch the itch a little bit, I finished up these needle books.
Do you remember my patchwork pillow that became a pouch? Well, I had a little bit more of that heavily quilted patchwork left over, so I turned it into these little cuties.
One can never have too many needle books, right?
Thanks so much for reading. Hope you all have a very lovely day. Svetlana

My needle book is just a piece of felt! I would love some like yours. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fabulous, just love the stitching!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and great recycling! Jxo
ReplyDeleteBoth cute, but I love the one on the right with that huge button
ReplyDeleteSuch cute needle books!
ReplyDeleteThose needle books are so cute. I have seen the Mollie Makes magazine, but not the other two. Were they at your local bookstore?
ReplyDeleteLove the needlebooks!
ReplyDeleteLove all your stuff. Pink is fun, and I think your needle books are charming :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun and bright! I like the contrast stitching too.
ReplyDeleteThey are so gorgeous and I am also partial to a bit of pink.
ReplyDeleteThose needle books are so cute! And who could resist some pink this time of year?
ReplyDeleteSweet! I loved those other needle books you made with the elephant fabric too! I finished my first embroidery project a month ago and now I am hooked! I need to make myself a needlework but I was blown away by how expensive the nice felt is at the LQS. It was something like 8 bucks a piece. I will be there tomorrow so I'll just need to get a sheet and make one for myself. They really are necessary because I am always misplacing the needle package and leaving them lay around.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your family on the pink issue. Maybe you need to make another gift quilt for someone who likes pink? You are probably wishing the weather was more springlike, huh?
Very Cute!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous needle books...all the stitching really takes them to another level!
ReplyDeleteToo, too adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery fun needle book! Great Finish!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love how close you did the quilting! If only that was practical for a quilt. It does look so cool!
ReplyDeleteoh how cute is this? Love the quilting and the creative use of your 'scraps!'
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up the quilted leftovers. And such bright sunny colors on what for me is a very snowy weekend!
