Until yesterday when I began to think about small gifts for friends as Christmas approaches.
I found a quick gift called a needle pad over at Janet's. A newly discovered kindred spirit in NZ.
My first needle pad
My Dad taught me to do a button hole stitch so I could make felt toys for my younger brothers. Now that was well over 50 years ago.
The new bit is button hole stitch with a picot. Very delicate!!
Hope on over to Janet's for a great tutorial with words and pictures. I changed the size of my needle pad to 2"x3".
Learning new things always brings a smile to my face.
D.H. and I are going to watch the GC's play steel drums. Good to be out with the family.
Enjoy the day Terry

A needle pad is such a lovely and useful gift. I love the picot bits on the edges, it adds that something special. Steel Drums is such a different instrument to be learning, I bet the concert was wonderful!!
I have never seen one of this before. It's gorgeous and handy, might have to make one - Hugs Nat
