2nd item finished in January and more

I am so happy with the way this one has turned out...I did not really have any idea what I was going to do with the stitcheries once I finally got around to doing them-but too me it is a real triumph to get them done(due to my now limited use of right arm from elbow to finger tips).They may not be proper stitches or done in a uniform way but they are jus me, doing it my way to get it done..these 2 stitcheries were drawn by Cath from Cathron Country Designs.

Now the fabric around these was a bag I picked up for $1  from the local thrift store and they were all cut into 1½" strips -and when I got these  like ermmm 18 months ago I just started sewing them into log cabin blocks -then I ran outta the green so they jus sat around ,until Thurs Night when I finished the stitcheries then I realized they would suit....

Since I had now completed 2 items - I decided I could make something new ..hehehe, and whipped up these bags for a friends granddaughters who arrive this week for  Darwin-Humpty Doo holiday.
