I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s going on but I haven\u2019t had any night stitching sessions in several weeks. That is when I am usually the most productive. Boo hoo! Nevertheless, I have 2 nice little fully finished objects this month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up is the Sheep Needle Case from Shepherd&#8217;s Bush.
