On Monday my lovely friend Kath celebrated her birthday so of course I had to stitch a couple of little gifties for her.
This Lizzie Kate design is from the UK Cross Stitcher magazine, November 2014.
I wasn't really sure how I was going to finish it so went looking through my fabric stash for some inspiration and came across some fabric to use. I thought about a project bag of some sort, or even a q snap storage bag. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
I'll have to stitch this again sometime for myself!
Next up is this red work Christmas stocking. This is a Marg Low pattern and I stitched the design with DMC 221, to match some Lynette Anderson fabric I wanted to use for the backing.
For many years now I have given Kath a Christmas ornament on her birthday - you may have already seen this one on my blog recently:
I hope you had a super day my friend!

What a wonderful job on the bag...such a cheery design! I love your finishing on Christmas Rose; the red stitching and holly fabric are perfect for it!

That Christmas Rose is STUNNING! And now I'm off to search for that magazine...because I'm sick in the head. :)
I love the bag you made, and I love the pattern, but most especially I LOVE the fabrics you chose to finish the bag. They are cheery and happy and bright for sure, and the bag can be used year-round. Terrific finishing. Thanks for sharing.
