I received another wonderful Christmas Star block ...I will soon be able to start my Christmas quilt. This star was from Nat, who is in my SBS Friendship Swap Group. It really was a lovely star, and I loved the fabric! Thanks so much!
I began my fall bag today. I did the picture on the front of the bag using my Babylock EMB12. I used batiks, wool roving and Angelina Fibres on a duck cloth base. As you can see, I have cardinals, leaves, and trees all representing my vision of fall. I added gold ribbon, and added a few butterfly embellishments. I used fancy decorative stitches to finish the picture, and it is fun finally using all the wonderful stitches that are available with my Pfaff 2048. I also picked batiks for the entire bag in the colours of fall. I am not done the bag, as I need to finish the top binding and the handles and do the finishing touches, but I wanted you to see the Fall Bag in Progess . The inside of the bag has a wonderful gold artisan print, and I will be using a black batik to finish the bias dinding at the top, and use wonderful deep red handles. I will post the bag when it is finished.
Fall is a wonderful time of year to see the beautiful reds, oranges, greens, browns and gold hues, and I enjoyed using all those colours in my bag.
