May bag ....

I did so enjoy this months SAL project - I love linen and I love stitchery and I love bags......


The stitchery took the longest to do.. but it was a lot of fun...


I used a bargain piece of raw linen that I found...


... and sewed with Pearl 8 - Canna from Cottage Garden threads.... I loved using the Pearl with the bit of sheen and of course no splitting of threads..... it is the equivalent of 3 threads and so was great for this project on the courser linen.... 


Righto, Gotto Go.... I'm a bit nervous about those 1/2" hexies for next month !!!!
