Handmade card upcycled into a one of a kind needle case

My daughter gave me this felted wool card a few years ago for my birthday and I have saved it because it was so beautiful and I had been wondering how I could repurpose it.  I found a place on line where a lady was creating a needle case and it dawned on me that I could repurpose this card into a needle case for my slow stitching box.  

It was perfect!!  I removed the paper liner and replaced it with a green felted wool insert layered with a hand cut red felted wool heart.  I stitched them into the spine with ivory thread and I now have a good place to put my needles which in the past have resided in two little quilties.  It fits nicely in my box.  

I am so glad to be able to use it with good purpose and see it regularly when I am stitching.
