New sewing project and other stitchy updates and a finish!

I really wanted a cute project bag to take on vacation. My mom gave me the main fabric years ago. It was leftover from a pillow blanket she made many years ago. I had the perfect fabric to go with it and off I went.  I made the large bag, a small zipper pouch, thread catcher, project mat and wrist keychain (not pictured).  Tangled progress. This is at  72.16% complete. That's 197,210 stitches down 76,070 stitches to go And I have a finish!  My travel project is complete! My Stained Glass Purple Rose is complete. It has been on several adventures but finally it's done.  This is 27,783 stitches. Started 13 Jun 2025 and finished 13 July 2026.

Live ~ Love ~ Create ~ Sew

An original design I created for my sister's new sewing space. I'm happy to share it with you all for your personal use. Please so not sell my patterns or creations made with the patterns without permission. Because the words are individually pieced you can use them on their own or change the layout anyway you want it.  For my layout I added a 5" x 8" piece of background to the left and right of Live and Love. For Create I added a 5" x 2.5" piece to each end.  I have some photos below that I took as I was laying everything out and deciding on which I liked best.  This can easily be done with scraps from your scrap bin! Enjoy and Happy Sewing!
