I got a very pretty Thinking of you at Easter card from my SQA and a package of Straw needles. I have never heard of them and anxious to try them out. It is interesting about how many different needles are available and how they are designed to sew different materials. I love trying out new things and these straw needles are made for needle turned applque which will be what I will be doing for the Sun Bonnet Sue block exchange. Thank you so much, SQA. You are the best.
