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.

Look what I got!!!!

I am SOOOO excited! It's not new but it's new to me and I'm so excited to dive into machine embroidery to enhance and embellish my quilting and sewing. I need a lot more practice with lining things up and figuring out the font sizes and all. But I'm going to have so much fun as I go! This is a Brother Innov-is 500D.  Perfect entry level embroidery machine.

Finishing projects

 Here are a couple of projects I finished in the last week or so. A chandelier style pattern as a wall hanging to put in my almost complete dining room.  It's going to look amazing!! This started life as a butterfly using 2" squares but I wasn't loving it. So I had a date with Jack and took it apart and started over. So glad I did. Love how this turned out!! Here it is actually up on the wall.  This pic shows the colors better. Original butterfly pattern I also finished this block from LOTR. I added to the top of it to have room for the quote which I added using HTV. It says "Not all those who wander are lost".  Not sure yet where it's going to go but I'm happy it's complete!
