You've seen this over a hundred times I gueass, but I thought I'd show you because of the finish. I stitched it with a hand dyed floss of The Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe and finished it as a little bag.

Bag
Do you remember it?. I've already made a bag with it to keep my ipod. It's all hand-made except the back quilting that I wanted it machine quilted and I asked someone else to do it because I don't have a sewing machine. For bigger pictures you can visit my blog; the margins are less wide and I can post bigger pictures.

A new finish
Hi, I have stitched this beauty using DMC etamin 25ct (color #3743). I'm not going to frame it, I'm making a little bag with it and therefore I'll have to wash it from time to time, so I didn't use Crescent floss; instead I chose DMC #52. For that same reason I didn't stitch the needle and thread; they are done in staright stitches and I was afraid that they got damaged when I keep the bag on my purse. It's a small design but I wanted it to be even smaller because I'll use the bag for my cell phone or my ipod so I stitched it one over one. I hope you like it.
