My " Oh Deer " bag

It's finally finished, my new zipper bag. Here I incorporated the whole shabang. I downloaded a free deer image and cross stitched  the image with the wording on linen.

This time I was going to show off some detailing. I made my own piping.

Patchwork for the front of the zipper bag.

A pull string with wording and french knots.

The inside is quilted with lining from the French General collection.

...........  finished.

Home again

Not what you think that I treated myself with a mini holiday - I wish. I had surgery and thanks to friends  who said hello, brought flowers and food my recovery is quite speedy. I am known for never standing idle so I was prepped with my embroidery kit and some sewing projects to make my stay more fun, only to find my energy hit rock bottom.
Thank you Kimberly for your mail art. It made my day! Hooray for mail art.

I am happy to say I am back behind my sewing machine but decided to let the weeds grow in my garden.
