Well Friday night I finished up this cute Friendship Bag for a swap I am participating in on Flickr. I decided to alter the embroidery design from American Patchwork & Quilting April 2014 Kristine Czepuryk of Pretty By Hand http://prettybyhand.com/ and use it in my Friendship Bag. I am so pleased with how it came out that I am going to make a couple of needle books and incorporate the embroidery into a thread catcher and a lined drawstring bag.
I am pairing up the embroideries with Scrumptious Fabric from Moda- Bonnie and Camille. I plan on doing some more flower embroidery and working on my Love Blooms Here blocks as part of Slow Sunday Stitching.
I also now have a tutorial tab at the top of my blog and my first tutorial posted for making Kitchen Towel Tote Bags. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
I love these stitched flowers... I might have to try some :)
