This and That

I haven’t meant to not be blogging; it’s just that most of what I’ve been spending time on isn’t worth talking about or isn’t picture-worthy and what good is a post if there are no pictures?  I feel like I need to get a  post out, though,  so here is a knitting tote bag I made a couple weeks ago:

That color is really off in the photo.  Here’s a closeup that’s a little closer to reality.  It shows one of the sections that was done with ruler work:

This closeup shows the machine embroidery a little better:

I played around a little with the interior pockets and made some small pockets for knitting needles on one side.  The other side has 3 large pockets for “normal stuff:”

This was the first time I’d worked with sewn-in wooden handles and I kind of like that it’s a different look.  Ernie is playing around with making some other wooden handles, so the next one may be a little more interesting…stay tuned!

I love them. I have my daughter, Son and Husband on them too. Cheap generic viagra? When you order drugs online from our shop you can be assured that you’re ordering the very best brand and generic medication from Canada.

    Love it Pat! Are you doing the ruler work on a DSM? Your machine embroidery is to swoon over! Thanks for the close ups … Karen on Keuka

    PS… Have you seen my completed Wool Penny Garland table topper? Wool appliqué on Cotton backing… So much texture. Take good care!

    I am continually inspired by your designs, color selection, free-motion quilting and overall impact. While you may thing this bag is simple, I think it is stunning. Thanks for sharing as I do find it helpful to see samples of how you incorporate your spectacular machine embroidery designs with your exception free-motion quilting to create such visual impact.

    Drooling.
