Needleroll Update

sorry I can't show pics still ... BUT I am nearing the end! I have the backstitching to do and the final "make it into a needleroll" part. That's the part I am befuddled by honestly! But I have started "that part" as well- mostly experimental to see how it looks and I am liking what I am going with. Despite the fact it is going to be a bit different than the others had made, but, for a first timeer, it'll be alright! (I hope)
