I've had quite a bit of slow stitching this week. I finished stitching on the mermaid that was from Joy of Days Filled with Joy's Mermay Days last year.
I wanted to use this on the front of a bag for my granddaughter Klara. I added the mermaid to the front of the bag. You can see her name pretty good. These are iron-in letters I had leftover from another project.
When I went to put the bag together I realized her name wasn't going to show very good, but I can't get the letters off, so I guess that will be the way it will stay. The bag was actually the same bag I made for granddaughter Kyleigh for her sewing bag. This was a tutorial by Jenny of Elefantz here. I'm going to be making another sewing bag this week for a Christmas gift. This was #3 on my Finish-A-Long Goals for Quarter 4. My list is here.
I did 2 more of the Kathy Schmitz stitcheries which will be put together into a wall-hanging pretty soon.
I also am working on this month's assignment for the Sweet Land of Liberty BOM that is being done on Facebook, with the guidance of Lori from Humble Quilts.
Today I will be working on appliquing these down.
I'll be linking up with Kathy's Quilts. Head on over there and check out what others have been doing. Today she is giving a report on her first ever Slow Sunday Stitching Retreat that occurred last Sunday.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I really appreciate the comments!
The bag is really cute. You sure got a lot of stitching done.

ReplyDeleteLove the mermaid against that fabulous fabric! What a beautiful bag. I know I have said it before but the mermaid's face is very sweet. A gorgeous bag, Karrin. As for your other stitching, all are fabulous. I hope you have a day filled with happy appliqueing!
ReplyDeleteLovely job on the mermaid bag!
ReplyDeleteYour stitcheries are lovely!
Enjoy your applique today!
You have been busy! I love the little mermaid bag and the Kathy Schmitz stitcheries. Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLucky granddaughter. Mermaids are quite popular. Bag is adorable.
ReplyDeleteIt won't matter that Klara's name doesn't show up well, it will still identify it as hers, and the mermaid is so adorable. I love Joy's/Elizabeth's designs! Kathy's stitcheries look great in your stitching models, too. You've been doing plenty of hand work!
ReplyDeleteOh love the bag! Did you make the little flowers around the mermaid? Love how you added the ric rac :) You've been quite busy! xx
