Finally Some Finishing

 I finally gathered some fabric from my stash in my sewing room closet and have been finishing some patriotic pieces.  Each one takes a while to figure out what fabrics to use and how to do the layout.  Once I'm into the finishing process I really have fun! This go round I have 8 to finish, 6 from this year and 2 from previous years. 2 more to go!  Can't wait to post pics of all when complete!

Patriotic Finish and Some Sewing

 I stitched up one more little patriotic design. This little chart has been in my stash for a long time! Even though it is pretty small, it took a lot longer than I anticipated.  I stitched it 1 over 1 on 28 ct. Jobelan and it was a little hard to see, especially the rows stitched with DMC 712!! But I really like the way it turned out.  I have several more patriotic that I want to stitch, but I think I'll hold off and try to get all my recent ones finish-finished!  Will soon be time to think about fall and then.....Christmas! Wow!

1 over 1

I made 2 project bags.  I needed a little something new and cheery to carry my stitching in.  The small one is 10" x 10" and the large one is 12" x 12", and they are fully lined with coordinating fabric.  The perfect sizes for 6 and 8 inch Q-Snaps. They were fun to make and I'll be sewing up a few more!

New Tote Bags

I made these little totes over the weekend. They are perfect to pack a lunch or a smaller on-the-go project! I may have a few for sale soon...
