I joined in with this swap hosted by Laurie on her fun blog

"create any kind of handmade needlebook you like, as long as it includes at least 5 buttons in its design"
I had some lovely fabric which I thought would suit a needlebook
My book was very simple in it's construction - I had to dispense
with the wadding as it was too thick with it.
The fun, colourful fabric for the outside,
the black and white fabric for the lining,
and red felt for the pages.
This is the back
This is it opened out
Here are the inside pages
It was fun to make and my swap partner
has now received it.
(it seems she's forgiven me for the scruffy stitching!)
I haven't received mine yet from my swap partner
but having seen some of her beautiful work on line,
I've very excited to see what she'll send!
Thanks for hosting another great swap Laurie :)
