On Friday I took Tropical Jazz to be finished into a tote bag. Marlene and I decided on is 13" X 13" plus the handles. It will probably be between 2" and 3" deep. It will have three pockets inside so should be a very useful size. The fabrics are very pretty, but not the usual silk or velveteen or velour, and I love the main color....a soft apricot. It will be ready sometime between now and July 15th when I can pick it up! I'll post a photo as soon as it's done.
I will be away for a week and won't be posting a blog entry, but when I return I will be starting work on a new project: working title is Leaf Collage. I actually did a full color sketch of this design, several years ago, but am just now getting around to stitching it. I have been looking for just the right techniques to use for the leaves and the background....but know I think I'm ready to take the plunge.
Stay tuned....and have a great week!
