Waiting

Hello my friends.
I`ve been waiting for the last 10 days for  some more thread to come.
I decided with my bag that I would use fabric and thread from out of my cupboards thinking I had enough.
My thread is Cottage Garden #1003 Indian Lily as this was the closet to my lining fabric.
I then, for the back of my bag put stitching  from `My Favorite Things` quilt.


As you can see I need more thread for the back.
One hank would`ve been enough for the front only!


I have started to put this together hoping thread would come in time
to show my bag ready to use.
Looks like I will have to use my pass.
So close,pity. Oh well will show again next month with 
Red Home Little House Pincushion.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.

How disappointing - it looks lovely in that thread - then again all the CGThreads are lovely!

I am sure you will finish very soon since you have done twice as much stitching you might make it in ...? It was a lovely idea to use ideas from the quilt.
