BLOG TOUR -- Last Week!

Wow, this has been so much fun!  And it has gone by really fast!   Today we have a great treat--we are visiting my friend, Kimberly Einmo.  She is a great teacher and always has such good ideas--so I can't wait to see what she posts today.  Go on over to her blog and we'll see!

So since it is the last week of the Blog Tour to feature my fabric collection, Coming Up Roses, I decided to whip up something new and fun.  I have been wanting to do this project for a while now.
I needed something to put all my stitching supplies in-- to make it easy to grab when you are stitching on a binding or working on applique, etc.

I wanted it to be round, so that my Poke-A-Dots would fit nicely.  And besides that, it is just a really cute shape!  I'm calling this little tote a Stitchery-Do.  The pattern will be available on my website next week.

I put a little pin-cushion into the lid, and a few pockets to hold small scissors, needles, thread, threader, etc. This little tote is not big--but just right for keeping all those stitching items together in one place.

After I made three of these, one in each of the main print colorways, I decided I needed to make one using selvages.  I love selvage projects!!
I love selvages from lots of different designers--the more the merrier!  But for this project, I just used selvages from my Penny Rose fabrics.  I wanted to focus on that, and after all, it is a really small project, anyway.

Coming Up Roses is my second collection with Penny Rose Fabrics.  I have a new collection coming out in October, so I was able to put in a few of the selvages from This & That, too.  And my first collection, Meadow Sweets is also in there.  So this is like a "journal" of my collections so far.  A fun idea for me.

I hope you have enjoyed our Blog Tour, and have been inspired like I have by the wonderful designs I have seen. Thank you so much to all the bloggers that have been a part of this Blog Tour.  Sharing their talent and creativity has been so fun!
