    Default A hard case

    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.
