Been very busy lately making dozens of magnetised needle
cases for the local craft ladies.

I have attached a pic of the latest batch (photo not real good)
as they are in plastic bags with the name of the wood, price
and my details on each bag.

The local ladies, although not magnetised, are attracted to them.

Allan, Nice needle cases,

can I ask what kit your using, I don't think I've seen anything here in the UK by that name.

Sorry, a little tardy in replying as I have been operating
our club stall at the local Kilmore Expo for the weekend.
Ten of our members submitted items for display and sale
and we sold $844 worth. Proceeds will be distributed
back to the members this Wednesday. (Good result).

Grommett: Suffice to say profits are ok on sale of needle
kits. Apparently a bloke has been selling the basic item
for $25 to members of a quilters group but I magnetize
them and sell for much less. I am happy with results.

Thanks Ray and Gloria for your comments.

Dr4g0nfly: Basic kit available through Jim Carroll or
Pop's Shed here for about $5. I drill the base cap,
insert a rare earth magnet, add non-magnetic material
before assembling. Bit of messing around but have been
happy with sales.
