I wanted to share a picture of the little towel I embroidered at the retreat I went to a few weeks ago. I finished it up last week but forgot to post a picture. My buddy, Angela shared a few embroidery patterns with me since I was travelling light and didn't take very many projects with me. I used variegated DMC floss (also from Angie). These are two different patterns I put together so Sue wasn't all by herself. :o) You wouldn't know it to look at this towel but I "DID" iron it! lol Angela had the patterns copied on transfer-eze (or a similar product) and you have to rinse the pattern off when your done the the stitching. It works great but I guess I wrung it out too hard! Besides BusyLiz, another nickname would be "bull-dozer"! Don't turn me loose in a china shop!!! :o)
Last night, even though I was feeling pretty sluggish, I fought the urge to be a couch potato and forced myself into the sewing room. I finished cutting the parts out for the craft show bags. My back was bothering me quite a bit so I lowered the ironing board and sat and ironed the fusible fleece to the parts that get it. I think I have 15 bags cut out. I had some fabric left over that wasn't quite the size the pattern calls for but I adjusted the pieces for a shorter bag and cut them out. It's a children's western print so maybe some little 'cowpoke' will like it and can have a smaller version of the regular size bags.
Hoping to get some sewing done tonight. These will be done by chain sewing so I probably won't have any done for a few days. I can't wait to see some of the finished bags though cuz I found some cute prints. I might have to sneak one or two bags to the finished stage for motivation. hehe
