Needlebooks and more

[@cathylampshire1140]

Thank you for sharing your needle book collection. I have wanted to make one for a while, but most of the videos I have watched all seem to be the same style with little variety. Your collection has opened my eyes to choices in size, shape, adornments and embroidery. And, I enjoyed hearing the birds in the background of your video. Thank you!

[@chrissiecrosser]

Oh, I am happy to hear that and I hope you have fun being creative and enjoying making your needle books. Yes, I love the birdsong too 🐦

[@dizzyhippy1973]

The one that belonged to mother is priceless. Thanks for sharing !

[@chrissiecrosser]

Yes, it is. Tfw

I LOVE needle books! I make them, use them and sell them. They make stitchcrafting feel so special!

[@avkgma]

Love all your needle books. What a great creative outlet. Very inspiring. I need to get busy! I like how you attached the scissors. I don't like tying scissors in. xo

[@chrissiecrosser]

Thanks, it's always a good feeling to be inspiring others!

[@sdeforest3390]

I love your needle book. It's so pretty.

[@chrissiecrosser]

[@elainet5870]

Thanks for showing us your wonderful collection! I’d love to see a tutorial on how you make your needle books. I’d especially like to see how you make the closures. Thank-you. 😃❤️

[@chrissiecrosser]

Thank you. The closure is just a very simple button and little tie to twist around the button.

[@ninetiesperson7980]

A lovely c9llection. It's interesting to see the different styles through time.

I cannot believe I have only made ONE needlebook! I have one I was given - with lovely thick pages that I love having next to me to poke my needle into! Your collection is inspirational!

[@chrissiecrosser]

Oh Yes, the things from way back are very special. What kind of samples did your mum have?

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Do you use batting in all your needle books when piecing the layers together?

I use a thin batting sometimes but not always. Tfw
