This has definitely been a week of making little things — and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. These needle books are so much fun to make that I just can’t seem to stop!
Then I got into the folded fabric origami patterns in Flower Origami by Kumiko Sudo. They are amazing! It is wonderful to see something like this appear from 2 circles of fabric sewn together. This was my first attempt that I initially thought was too dark, but I think I’ll make another and turn this into a little needle book.
These are from another pattern in Flower Origami. I love making these. Three done and I think I’ll make one more. I have a feeling these are going to get incorporated into my Four Seasons summer quilt.
The back of these little flowers fascinates me. There is absolutely nothing about this effect that I don’t like!
Of course, one little bead had to be added to the centre of each for a bit of sparkle.
And finally — a picture of Smudge reclining on the window sill on a hot afternoon.
Nest week I’ve got to get back to some larger projects, but I sure had a lot of fun this week playing with little things.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

you are good at making those flowers. I hope it is easy since I have the book but yet have not had the time to start them.

Oh my, your projects are just getting cuter and cuter. I adore the lavender needlebook!I once saw an origami paper fold just like the one you did in fabric. They made it into a picture frame for a scrapbooking page by inserting each of the four corners of the photo into the triangles. They sure are cute done up in fabric.I love the pic of Smudge on the widow sill enjoying the sunshine.Aloha!
