I'm trying to figure out the best way to carry
my needles, any suggestions :) I was using a small
plastic container, but they all fall out,
and I carry different sizes, anything I can make myself :)

Old RX bottles w/lid .

one of those altoid mint boxes with a magnet glued to inside lid :)

A quilted pot holder with a hanging loop, folded in half, button applied to catch the loop.
Inside use a Sharpie to neatly mark off sections labeled with your most used needle sizes.
If you also sew a couple of slightly overlapped, on the closed end, zipper snack baggies - one facing left open, one facing right open - down the middle of the opened pot holder, and cover that seam with a thin pretty ribbon, you will have a carrying area for thread and scissors, too.

Oh, this is helping Me so much :)

I love the potholder idea. I never would have thought of that.

Clever ideas :D:D:D

I love this idea! It would be easy to make, you could personalize it to whatever color you like--you could add some applique to it before assembling too--and it would be so very useful! Thank you for this idea, Jan!

Thank you for enjoying the pot holder idea....and carrying it further.
To give credit where it's due, though, I have to say that it was one year's "favor" at our guild's annual spring luncheon, not my idea. I helped make them that year, though, and still use mine every day.
