This week I have been working on my Red Home Tote Bag. Have a bit more to do on the stitchery but today I managed to decide on what fabrics to use from an old Brannock and Patek range from my stash called Gatherings. I have quite a few different fabrics from this range so needed to pick which ones I would use where.
The maroon floral will be used on the back, the green floral for the top and lining, the beige on the bottom and handles, the beige, green and red spot for the pockets either side of the stitchery. The stitchery is in a variegated green so these should go well I think. They are cut out now so decision final.
I have also been working on my One Xmas Item a Month. Have finished this so here is a sneak peek as I need to buy a hanger to display it and then post about it on the 25th. Stitchery design by Gail Pan.
Am happy with my progress this month although still have quite a bit to finish by the 28th (Don't like these short months).
Also have joined

Well, off to make dinner now. Till next time...... Happy Stitching............

ReplyDeleteLove the colours you have chosen for your bag. I looked around for quite a while and finally decided on the French General range from Moda. But...I like yours better and can't wait to see your bag finished.
