It took a couple of extra days to finish stitching needlepoint for Bill’s Lee Credit Card Case. Apparently, one square inch per hour isn’t my speed.

At one point, Bill inquired how I was coming along with the pips. That’s when I learned that pips are the small symbols on the front of playing cards that indicate the card’s suit and rank.

If you look carefully at my earlier post, you may notice a difference between that wallet and this one. Apparently, at some point Lee stopped placing their name on the inside flap.

After giving it to him prior to Christmas and before I finished stitching it today, the original wallet disappeared. Unfortunately, Bill wasn’t able to make it reappear! We’ll never know for sure what happened to it, but fortunately, a replacement arrived today. Who knows, the original may magically reappear one day. Love the self finishing aspect. I’m really glad I stitched 3 extra rows on each side. Bill’s thrilled with it!
