Traveling

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!
