This is a needlebook which is one of two items I am working on in the UFO Challenge at CQI. This is a fun challenge! We all have so many blocks and unfinished items of cq so we swapped them and each to get to finish one someone else did and then send it back. This needlebook is one of two items I got from Ruby.

I worked on both of these at retreat and they were lots of fun - great colours!

I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway. I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...
