And Anke sent this note to me today.

Read in your blog the other day and was taken by the antique sewing roll.
It’s fabric’s pattern, that has me intrigued; was it a piece left over and if so, what had been made? Or had it been salvaged from an item no longer needed or usable and if so what had that been? Like its slightly wavy/puckery looking sides.

Taken to such a degree that I tried and made one myself. Used some cotton fabric, a bit of calico, doctor’s flannel, some polyfibre fill, a bone button and a piece of twine. A fun little project and very happy with the the result.

(The pattern for the needleroll is in Garden Club our latest quilting book.)

Until tonight!

  6. What a charming little project. The needle roll will have to be a must make project. I'll be looking for your 'Garden Club' book.

  10. Hi Alma, I recently purchased your book Garden Club, lovely book, and I want to do Winter Apples. I don't know how to contact you and it didn't say in the book, which fabric you used for the background of the blocks. Could you please email me and let me know. Thank you, Dianne email address: litex@comcast.net
