Hello all
if all has gone according to my plan you should be able to see the progress of my "sweet bag for Elizabeth" here

Oooh ~Joanne,
that is pretty! Is there some raised work in there? Nice job.
Regards,

Lovely - it says "sweet bag for Jo" - though ;^)

I love this design and admit that I bought the magazine just so I could look at it often. How long have you been working on it? Your work looks fabulous!

Gorgeous. Long time since I`ve done that kind of work, unfortunately - I used to love doing it.

Many thanks Carol, there's not raised work per se, but there is lots of padded, very well padded, satin stitch.

Hello Jeanine
I did the course on this on 18/19 November, and have spent an hour or two on it most days since - some days more and some days not at all depending on whether the lawn needs mowing or the floors need washing! It was not until a couple of days ago that the whole design began to 'come together'. The tendrils on the design are a pest to do, but really do add the finishing touch to the work.
Joanne
It's absolutely lovely work and a lovely design. I'm amused by the design because I designed a piece for the EGA MC program and it is very similar.
Dianne
WOW!
That is a great design. I have not done that much surface embroidery but, I have done enough to appreciate the time and skill it takes to make it look that good. How will you do the finishing? You said it is a sweet bag so are there going to be any small treasurers to go inside the bag?
