XMAS WALL HANGING

 Just wanted to share with you my latest sewing project. An alternative christmas tree.

 I added a layer of padding and backed it in a plain material...then added small red ribbons here and there. I chose a gold bias binding to edge it all. Finally I sewed two thin strips on the back to incase 2 thin wooden batons ,one at the top and one at the bottom.

So lovely and bright....hope my customer enjoys it for years to come...

ROSE

Made a sweet little bag today. Actually its classed as a "Coat hook bag" where one handle is much longer than the other. The bag is closed by pushing the largeloop through the small hoop.

I cross stitched Roses are Red onto a strip of Aida , infact I cross stitched a few of these ready for further use, then after visiting a fabric store I stumbled across this wonderful material which seemed an ideal choice.
 This is a longer bag , the sheen on this material is beautiful.

 These are the materials I bought.......



 Pattern for the cross stitch and idea for the bag comes from this Book...
Book by ELINE PELLINKHOF.
