I saw a real cute needle book at a craft show, it was made out of wool from an article of clothing that can be purchased at a thrift store and the pages were from what looked like a sweater (also can be purchased from a thrift store). There was a small felt flower on the front & can be either glued on or appliqued. Very inexpensive if you can get to a thrift store. You can make any size you would like but the ones I saw were approx. 6 X 7. I also belong to a quilt group of approx. eight ladies and we try to keep it under $5.00, we don't always do quilting things but things like hand lotion, book marks, Christmas socks etc. Good Luck and have fun.
