I’ve just finished my latest cross-stitch project ..... and it’s my first attempt at a needle case. It’s based on this ‘Bent Creek’ sampler
I liked the style of the alphabet and the vines, but I wanted to do it in nicer colours that would match the fabric I wanted to use, which is ‘Blackbird Design’ fabrics. This is at the construction stage

And this is the finished needle case - front and back!

I wanted it more oblong in shape rather than the square ‘Bent Creek’ design, so I extended the pattern and then added my initials.
Quite a nice finish, even if I say so myself!!

Very cute! That is a very nice pattern and I love the colors you used with it.
Very well done. I like the colors you used.
That's lovely! I agree that the letters are attractive, bit different to the usual style of cross-stitch lettering.
Aren't you clever adapting the design?!!! I like the springlike colours that you have chosen.
You've done a beautiful job on the needle case Julia.
Very creative and I love your choice of colours. The BD Harvest Home fabric line is so pretty.
Hugs,

Julia, It is not quite a nice finish ... It is a STUNNING finish. So tell me when are you starting your finishing service? Lots of Love Patti xxx
