Hello needleworkers and supporters! Welcome to Hive account@needleworkmonday’s Featured Posts #25! This is a weekly Curation showcasing the needlework of our very own Steemians. Every Monday we get together to share our love and passion for the needle arts using the #needleworkmonday tag. On all other days we use the #needlework tag. We enjoy each other’s creations, ideas, patterns, tips and shortcuts.

We strive to bring to you great quality work filled with tutorials and inspiration. Please help us keep these wonderful needle arts alive and thriving by supporting our work and community!

This week we had 29 needleworkers sharing their work under the #NeedleWorkMonday tag! Thank you to all of you for coming here week after week to inspire everyone with your art!

Here we go...

Hive account@devyleona has been embracing us with her beautiful cross stitch work. She is sharing this cute classic Mickey and Minnie Valentines Day idea which could be sewn into many things.

ecoDesigns Textile Upcycled Product of the Week | Chakboard Erasers by Hive account@ecodesigns

Upcyccling has become one of #NeedleWorkMondays staple projects! There are several of us finding ways to reduce waste and save monies by making old and unused items into something useful and functional. Here, Hive account@ecodesigns talks about the shortage of chalkboard erasers in Cameroon due to expensive prices. So their team got to work and came up with a way to help fix this problem. Join in and read about the making of these erasers from repurposing textile waste products.

Thatcher's Disappearing Nine Patch Baby Quilt and Tutorial - Needlework Monday by Hive account@apanamamama

One of the joys of creating your own art pieces is knowing you are using your own hands to make special gifts that are made with love. We can take our time to customize each piece. This is what Hive account@apanamamama does when making her quilts. She picked out specific fabric for her nephew’s quilt and got to work. If you’ve ever wandered how a quilt is put together come check out this post!
