On my birthday, I got a note from camp friend, known in the comments as "dd," telling me she was finishing a project for me, but it would be a belated birthday gift.
It came today and it is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s.

The back with my initials. You can see how delicate this over-one stitching is. |
Bear in mind the weather is atrocious today, these photos were the best I could get. The whole needlebook is about 2.5" x 2.5" and is stitched over one. Those black dots are tiny little beads. The stitching is perfect. You'll note the date of MMX. I just love it. I'm sitting here fondling it (with freshly washed hands).
It's so perfect. Thanks much to mi
camp amiga.

Lining fabric, delicious! There's even a little pocket to hide
secret things. "dd" did a superb job finishing, but she's
been an excellent seamstress ever since she sewed her
thumb with a sewing machine as a child. |

What a nice gift! It is a beautiful design and I love the idea of a pocket for secret things. I wonder what kind of secret things you'll put in there?
