It was finished in February.....

Very late last night, with about half an hour to spare I finished off my Red Home tote bag.  Just needed to wait for some time(and the light of day) to take some pics today.....

                                      


I've been loving all the beautiful fabric combos people have used for the tote bags, there will be no two bags alike.....  

I made a start today on my March pincushion.  The 9 patch ends are pieced and the stitchery is traced ready for me to make a start on tonight. 

Happy stitching girls......... Nicky x
