Huge sigh of relief. I put in the last stitches on my "Tulip" needlecase tonight! How long has this taken me? Let's not count back! I will be pulling out the sewing machine on Saturday (actually still considering sewing by hand--sometimes the sewing machine ends up being more work than hand finishing!). Despite the awful photo it really does look fairly nice. The color here of the fabric is more grey when in actuality it is slightly more brown. I will share a photo of the finished needlecase after my friend gets it (finally!). Whew. Tomorrow it is back to my Just Nan and I think it is time to get back to work on the VoHRH!
