Incoming: handmade needlecase

This swap introduced me to needlebooks - I'd never heard of them, even though they're uber-useful. Most of my needles were stored in an old pharmacy vial, just waiting to draw blood while I looked for the right one. But then Rochelle in Ireland sent me this amazing needlebook, which she completely tailored for me, right down to using natural fibers and reused materials, and even embroidering my name on the cover! I instantly installed my needles and took great pleasure in doing so.

I'd never heard of needlecases either... what a good idea! I'll keep an eye out for any future swaps for them :)
