Needle Case Swap



As promised, here is a picture of the needle case that I received in the needle case swap I was in. Isn't it beautiful!!! It opens up like a fan and fans are one of my very favorite things! The fabric is a beautiful grey/blue brocade and the silk ribbon roses are hand dyed. There are even little roses embroidered on the tassel. Thank you so much for my beautiful needle case Barbara!

See you later,

New MCC Quilt Block with Some Embellishments



Sorry I haven't posted for so long....it's not that nothing is happening around here! Here is a picutre of the latest MCC block that I had. This is the picture of it after I was done with it! I really like the bright pastel colors we are using. There will be only six blocks in this quilt, four fans, two regular squares and then an 8 inch pieced border. We mail the squares in cardboard mailing tubes to each other. I only hope that the long borders will fit in the tubes! The other picture is a Pretty in Pink Needle case. I was recently in a needle case swap in one of my Yahoo groups and this is the needle case that I sent to Barbara Blankenship. I will try to post the BEAUTIFUL needle case that she sent to me. I just love it!

See you later,

Val
