I’m slowly working on the front of my bag which I started at the Nostalgia Class using doilies last week. Perhaps I’ll add a few pretty blue flowers on this corner of the bag, I thought. The flowers were machine appliquéd in place, and I added a button in the centre - then just a little hand stitching to link the flowers together. The front of my bag needs a lot more stitching, and I’ll be doing “big stitch” quilting using perle cotton.
But I needed to take a trip to the quilt shop and buy some more thread for the couple of stitchery projects I have on the go. This is what I bought yesterday.
I’ve also prepared the bag back and the straps so I’ll be ready to assemble the bag when I finally get the front finished. So that’s another step done. Being creative certainly takes time, but is most enjoyable. I tend to flit from one project to another – guess most crafters are like that?

Looking so good Jenny, lovely thread shades, and having the back and straps all quilted, what a saving when putting it together. Wet and cold up here again.
It’s always nice to have an excuse to go to the quilt shop. :-)
Hello Jenny,
A lovely project you are working on, the blue flowers are so lovely.
Happy days.
Bev.
Your bag is coming along nicely; I love your flowers. Yes, isn't it interesting that no matter how much we have on hand, we still need just a couple more things. As you know I always have several projects at a time...WIP.
Your bag is going to be lovely. I'm looking forward to what else you add to it.
Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party.
