I have an "unofficial" needlebook ... only for used needles, that still have life left in them!!
It started it's life as a small practice piece to get the tension right for quilting with top/bottom threads of different colours. So, a mini quilt of two pieces of fabric with batting between. I stitched some straight lines about 1/2" apart, the length of the piece. The one side was white. Instead of tossing, I took the notion to make use of it and trimmed it off, stitching the edges to hold in place. Also, stitched some cross rows, a little longer than needles are, so that now I had a grid. As I saved needles, I used a Sharpie, writing on the type of needle, and the size, Eg. Embroidery 12, etc. Folds up nicely, into a wee bundle, to store in my box with the new needles which I keep in their original packages.
I keep thinking of remaking it, but for now it works. When I do, the only thing I might change would be to have the needles sit across the width of "quilt" and then it will roll up nicely, like you would with a jelly roll.
