This tiny Tote
Bag will carry your latest needlework project (or your lunch) in style. This
original gift came into my hands from my creative friend, Kathy Gillespie.

Slip this Tea
Cozy over your teapot to keep your tea hot for hours. No proper tea party should
be without one. (I learned that in England!)

| Give them something to really look
at. Keep your specs safe and handy inside this artsy Eyeglass Case. Fun
fabrics make the case. |
Simple piecing makes it easy to
size this Bookcover. An address book, diary, blank book or your latest
paperback novel-you won't mind leaving it around when it looks this good. (Well, maybe not
your diary...) |
 |
 |
| Make a patchwork Chatelaine
to keep your quilting tools close at hand. For quilters "on the road," this is a
functional piece designed to allow easy access to your scissors, seam ripper, and a spool
of thread. Add a collection of antique sewing implements and it serves as a piece of
"jewelry." |
Make history yourself. Hang your Huswif
on the wall or carry it with you "into the field." Many a Civil War soldier went
off to battle with a "huswif" tucked into the pocket of his uniform. The useful
item was filled with sewing supplies and an extra button or two for doing his own mending
while away from home. |
 |
 |
| Give this flying geese Bookmark
to a special teacher, friend or relative. They'll think of you every time they turn the

the top and the other is secured with a flap and button. |
 |
 |
| Even if you don't have a marble collection,
you'll want one of these! Use this Drawstring Pouch to hold everything
from sea shells to needlework tools. Mine holds my antique bakelite button collection. |
A place for everything and everything in its
place. Hang this Needleholder in your sewing room or roll it up and tie
it into a convenient bundle. |
 |
 |
| A pocket-sized storage system for you sewing
essentials. Make a folding Patchwork Needlebook with ultraseude
"pages" to secure your pins and needles. |
Jot it down, make a list, take a message in
style. Create a cover for a paper Notepad. You'll want one by every
phone! |
 |

intricate-looking Ball Ornament is easily paper pieced. |
