(paperback) 40 pages, colour photos and diags (2003) £12.95 + £1.25 p&p Discount p&p offer! - click here Here is Jennie's fourth and eagerly-anticipated new book and here's what she says about it: "Well, here we go again, another beaded needlecase book. I can hardly believe this is the fourth one I've published. I must be needlecase crazy! I hope you will be pleased with the needlecase designs in this book as well as the matching scissor/thread-cutter fobs (or earrings, if you prefer). I thought it would be a nice way to have your tools complement each other and mark them as your property. A fob is a small medallion or ornament attached with a short ribbon or chain which hangs from something else." See also Beaded Needlecases, Beaded Favors and The Long and Short of It. |
