I Did get mine today from Little RoO. I just got home a bit ago, and it made my day wonderful. The needle case is beautiful, and the fabric shows England. You will be able to see the flag, a double decker London Bus, and Ferris Wheels called The London Eye, etc. The colors of the fabric are beautiful, and she filled it with very useful goodies.(thread, various types of needles, seam ripper, scissors, measuring tape, and long pretty straight pins). She also included a pretty unique card with a patch of the fabric used in the needle book sewn on it, and topped with a little bird. She also wrote the nicest letter inside. Thank you Rosemary (Little RoO) I have to go check on my dad which I do regularly since my mom passed away in March of this year, but when I get back I will post pictures of my needle book. Oh, and Little RoO said this was her first needle book to make. Much better than mine was I made, but I hope I am getting better. I love the learning.Thanks again Little RoO!!

Quote from Doghousemom - "My husband was happy to see "his" flag come home especially so close to the 4th of July (or as he calls it - A big to-do about a cuppa)"

That made me LOL.

JuneBillie ... another thing we have in common ... we received needle cases with the flag of Britian!

LittleRoo - the case is gorgeous!!!

Everyone ... ALL the cases were fantastic (especially the one I got )

Caroline ... THANK YOU so much for hosting this swap. I had a great time making my case, looking at all the others and of course receiving the perfect case you made for me. Or should I say "ta"

Love the British one, what a great idea to represent the area it came from. Also like the scissors holder in this one much better than in the one I made... Am wondering, after the ribbon is threaded through the scissors, does one end have Velcro or some such to hold the ribbon down? I'm trying to think about how I could adapt this to the pattern I used, modifying both patterns a bit to come up with the "perfect" one. And wow, those pins all in a circle - I had enough trouble just making a straight line, lol.

Thanks, Carolyn, this was great fun!
