Bag 1 - Rosalie Quinlan "The Two of Us", a little carry bag. One of the patterns & kits at a stitching day somewhere with Rosalie, Mellie and Leanne as the tutor designers way back in 2010...
Another rediscovered kit that was added to the Scrub Stitchin' 2025 packing,..started at Baradine once I finished the needlecase stitchery/applique...I finally finished all the red evil satin stitch while I was in the ACT the first week of October so it was ready to put together. The kit included all the fabric
(I've a good sized piece of the red check left over) and embroidery
floss - all the designers used the same thread colours for their kits
that day and we were given full sized floss skeins not little bits...all
I had to add was the batting. The pattern's construction method of the bag was a bit...mmmm....let's say interesting!...but it is rather cute and has been used taking ziplock bags of prepared blocks for hand piecing between houses over Christmas.
Bag 2 - Matilda's Own "Wristie Bag" kit that was a swap gift at local group camp...
A good size, it will be handy.
Bag 3 - Another kit resurfaced when rummaging around probably for something else...Joyful by Marg Low...again all ingredients included. I bought it for $5.00 from the trade table at local group camp for the fabric not the pattern...members bring bits and bobs they want to destash to tempt their fellow members...it works! ha ha ha. A closer look at the actual pattern and again easily modified as the fabric doesn't scream Christmas so leave off the themed applique patch...
Quick and easy to make up and again a handy size...and the piece of linen and whisperweft that was included for the applique patch is the perfect size to fit in a frame I decided would work for a stitchery...and again pieces of the various fabrics left over to go into the stash boxes.
That's three more kits out of the box and into the light...pretty much my whole 2025 right there...
Happy Stitching...
