A few days ago I wrote about
my needle cases and the
old needle case for my quilt needles. This weekend I made a new one and today I moved my quilt needles to their new home. At the left side are my quilt needles. At the right side a large needle I use to sandwich my quilts, an applique needle and pins and a chenille needle I used for my first redwork.
In the centre I secured my first quilt needle with a stitch through its eye and a cross stitch. I used this needle to make
my first quilt. It's bended and the point is blunt, but I cannot throw it away!
I found the inspiration for this needle case in the zentangles I made recently:
Simplicity and
Eyes Wide Shut. First I made two 3 inch squares with running stitches in perle 12. Then I stitched W2 with sorbello stitches in perle 8 and backstitches in perle 12. At the left side I stitched Hollibaugh with backstitches in DMC 80.

I just adore your zentangles, they really fascinate me and I would love to know more about them and what they are all about. It seems as though the different designs have different names. Your new needlecase is wonderful.

Thanks, Shirley. If you want to know more about zentangles, there's a link in my sidebar to Life Imitates Doodles and the diva's weekly challenge. You find lots of eye candy and more links there.
