Your idea to make it more shallow is something I will employ in the future. Here's a link if you want to see what I've done.

I gave them out today and they were thrilled with them.I really mixed up the colors so they could choose what suited them. And of course, I told them where to go to get the pattern for themselves. Thank you for helping me along the way, Larissa. I followed the link in your blog to flicker and posted a photo of some of the books on there. I also have a flicker account so not sure if it went to your page or mine. I'm rusty on flicker use.Ramona-quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241514424489374828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-61610814066370943652015-05-13T08:53:16.905-04:002015-05-13T08:53:16.905-04:00Yay!

But better than that, I had decided to start working on the flowers and now I see that those were also the smaller size. Sooooo glad you responded so quickly or I would have a bunch of unusable (to small) flowers for my needle books. Thank you for getting back to me so fast. I will start first thing tomorrow morning.Ramona-quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15241514424489374828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-39162656414411856732015-05-11T21:10:49.087-04:002015-05-11T21:10:49.087-04:00Hey, Ramona-quilter.

Some printers do that automatically and it's annoying when it comes to patterns. Check the print settings. Make sure your printer is set to NO scaling, 100% actual size. Not 'fit to page' or any other setting that means it will adjust the size of the printout. If you have more questions it might be easier to contact me via email: me@larissaholland.comLarissa Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901400647777521741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-23161237485132414402015-05-11T20:53:46.899-04:002015-05-11T20:53:46.899-04:00I love this project as a gift idea for the quiltin...I love this project as a gift idea for the quilting ladies at my church. I downloaded the pattern, ordered/received the wool felt from one of your resources and I am excited to get started. But I got hung up on Step 2, creating a template on cardstock.. I printed the needle book pattern on my basic inkjet. I saw the bolded line that stated "When printed at the correct size,this line measures 4 inches". Mine measures 3.75". And the line is also 3.75" when I measured the printed from the .pdf pattern that I downloaded. Should I expand the pattern first then put it on the cardstock still using the 4 inch standard?

Make a little "pillow case" that just fits the card, but is open on one end and longer than the card. Slip the card in, put some poly stuffing in on top of the card and then stitch the open end closed, neatly. voila!loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-28097185730046835222014-02-09T14:41:57.437-05:002014-02-09T14:41:57.437-05:00:-) Not really, but thanks, Charlotte!

Lovely!!!<br /><br />One of my favorite OCD things to do is to tear apart an old pin cushion (you know - when it is shedding sawdust everywhere) and pick out the needles. You wonder why you can never find a needle? They LIVE inside your pin cushion!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323119911246035429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-26520917538159628902011-02-17T09:23:01.868-05:002011-02-17T09:23:01.868-05:00super fantastic!!! love how you stitched the edge...super fantastic!!! love how you stitched the edges of the cover pages, such a great detail & finishing touch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869766342171493242.post-45924455133982607442011-02-17T03:38:05.050-05:002011-02-17T03:38:05.050-05:00Wow!
