stvital: Purse-in-Progress

I took a little break from my camera, which meant I took a little break from my blog, oops.

Here is a little glimpse of the purse I am currently working on. I love it, but not as a purse. It looks like a great toiletry bag to me. I will however use it. I am hoping once I complete the handle that it will come around for me. The only picture I have is of my water lily, this is my attempt at giving it a little more character.

I drew a water lily with a disappearing pen on the bag, then proceeded to stitch using a back stitch. There are some french knots in yellow near the center of the flower. The pen I used disappeared a little too fast, so I ended up "drawing" with my needle and thread. It was fun.

Complete Projects

Knit Hat(s) I did it! My second and third knit project. I think they came out well. I am in love with knitting in the round. Next time, I will tackle a different pattern. I used a simple pattern found here for these two hats.

This hat was for my husband. Here he is modelling it for me:)

The next hat was made for my littlest girl, who begged me, "Please, make me a pink hat!"

Progress Made

My Garden of Whimsy ~~Magic Garden Wall Quilt~~ (previously named Terrain Wall Quilt): I finished quilting and machine sewing the binding. All I have left is to hand sew the other side of the binding.

Farmer's Wife: I completed a few of these blocks. This is my most recent, and one of my favourites.
