Oh Lynnie, the tubular needlecase is very cool. I had never seen such a thing either. Is it your creation or is there a pattern? You do beautiful work! Ashjoy, hope you find your ring. I lost my original diamond from my set and had it replaced with a lesser value one. Still makes me sad beause the original was unique because it had a flaw in it that I could see and that way I knew it was mine. I am working on my pin cushion for partner now. Have it partially done. I always stuff mine with poly fiberfill and add a little steel wool in middle.
