Today is the first check-in day of this year for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus. If you would like to join this group and show what you have made during the month, click on my sidebar button for more information.
I had planned to show how my stitching on the Never Ending Sampler organised by Pam at Kitty and Me designs, is progressing, but at the moment it is not. I started stitching a couple of weeks ago and have changed my choice of thread colours twice already, so the embroidery has been banished to the Dreaded UFO Drawer, never to be seen again unless I surprise myself one unforeseen day in the future, by contemplating the work through different eyes.
Today I can show some embroidery which I finished just after Christmas.

The little needlecase design is from the magazine Labores. In the centre square, the pattern included lots of beads which I decided not to add.
I used some fabric from stash and a square of felt for the inside, put a button in the middle and added ribbon at each corner to close the needlecase.
I´m going to add this to my gift box.
Linking to Martina´s Patchwork and Stitchery.
Happy stitching.
