Just a short post today....I started taking pictures but the camera batteries were exhausted before I was halfway done so I'll save the other things I had to show for another time.
This is just a little set I've made using some pretty pink toile fabric that I fell in love with.
The drawstring bag pattern is by Gail Pan. I found a bead necklace on the market for just one Euro and pulled it apart to get the beads for the ribbon drawstring.
I also made a little scissor fob and a matching four patch pincushion. I just stitched a couple of the flowers from the embroidery design on the bag and I think it turned out nice. You can click on the pictures for a better view.
This pincushion is from Cinderberry Stitches pattern Stitched Trilogy
it was a bit hard to get the shape just so with this style of pincushion and I think I'd have preferred it if it had been a bit smaller but it was an enjoyable project to work on.
Sorry this is so short. I have lots of stuff in the works so will hopefully make up for it next time.
Finally, Pat is having a belated birthday giveaway draw.
Just pop over to Pat's blog and leave your comment for a chance to win. I have no idea what the prize is but, knowing Pat, it will be something very nice!

Oh wow, Margaret, what gorgeous pieces:)
Margaret what a great project. Love all of it. tha bag is just darling and I love the pink. It seems that "pink" is becoming the new color (could it be Francoise influence?)
Robert
A wonderful project, Margaret, and so perfectly finished. Your work is really outstanding.
And then I second Roberta concerning the pink colour. Certain group members' colour preferences seem to have a certain influence on all of us, lol. But seriously, your colour choice is absolutely perfect for this project.
Margaret,
Your lovely stitching goes from strength to strength. The stitching bag and accessories are just breathtakingly beautiful and the pink toile...well, I'm speechless :>)
Warm hugs, Angela

Your bag and accessories are lovely. Did you buy the fabric specifically for the project Margaret? I never manage to stuff my pincushions so they look so plump. Is there a tip you could pass on? Great to see you posting.
