Just a quick update on the progress of my retreat project. Here is a picture of both projects.
I finished the small box pin keep while at retreat. I started to stitch on the Needle book on Saturday night after we got back to the hotel. I finished the stitching this morning and went right to work on making it into the needle book.
Here it is in it's folded form.
This is the outside view of the whole stitched piece.
And the inside of the needle book. I added a scissors, a thread counter that Jill had made for me and a Kelmscott thread keep.Thanks again for stopping by.
Happy Stitching:)

Joan,
Lovely work! You really finished it quickly. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment using it.
I am so glad I finally got to meet you in person. I feel like we've known each other forever and yes, I would love to come to Minnesota to visit - except I will fly and not drive!! LOL! I love your finished pieces. I'm still working on my pin cusion and then my needlecase (which I may make into a cube instead). I've updated my blog with some retreat info and pics too so come by and visit!!

Your work is beautiful Joan. Looks like the retreat was fabulous. I have known Lindy for years but haven't been to Tulsa...maybe someday!
