It's big enough that it can hold magazines plus my 11" q snap frame as well as several patterns.
The fabric I chose is one a friend brought to me from Africa. She was there for a mission trip and I got this beautiful fabric!
The colors in the fabric are black, burgundy and a deep gold. I think it goes beautifully with my Scissors.
This piece of lace I used on the bottom is so beautiful and dainty....I just love it.
I've been doing some quilting too but my day on the Tree Bird Blog Hop is not until the 19th so I'll wait until then to show it. Meanwhile check out these bloggers who are going to be showing you some fun stuff in the next few days!

ReplyDeleteI love your bag, the cross stitch is perfect for it. I just finished a tote also it will be on my site in a couple of days. I am having a give a way if you would like to meander over and take a peek.

ReplyDeleteYour zipper bag came out great! I love it! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a special zipper bag you have made. Now that is great!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the stitchery. The African fabric is really pretty with it and the lace is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a nice job of making this stitchery into something useful. I think the problem I had with my own stitcheries - and I made way too many of them - is that they always ended up needing to be framed and hung. Costly, and wall-filling! :-) Love how you put yours to work. Those mini-scissors are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great way to show off your scissors stitching. I love that little pop of lace.
ReplyDeleteNow you have a VERY special project bag.
Congratulations on the beautiful finish!
