Welcome!  the fabled needle will now live at thefabledneedle.com/blog.  My old blog, http://thefabledneedle.blogspot.com, will still be online so you can refer back to it, if you wish, but is no longer live but all new posts will be right here;  So I hope you’ll visit often as I have posts a-plenty in store for you!

To celebrate my new blog location and to thank my dear readers (Thank you for all the blog-love lately!), I’m giving away this handmade Scalloped Lemon Tote based on my Wendy Reversible Tote Bag pattern (Coming soon).
