Stacy Nash Pears & Strawberrries Bag

Yesterday I finished the Pears and Strawberries Sampler Bag by Stacy Nash.  I stitched mine on 40 ct linen with DMC.  The linen was so silky and wonderful to stitch on that I wish I had written down the name when I bought it.  I was inspired by a completed sample in my LNS.  The sample in my LNS was made into a sweet pillow and was heavily distressed.  It is gorgeous..



Here it is finished..  I lined it completely.  It was certainly not an easy project to put together since I didn't read the directions or have a template since mine was smaller than the suggested 32 count.   Nevertheless, I was determined and I am pleased with the results.

The red fabric is cotton from a leftover project and the brown fabric is a wool blend that I recycled from a pair of pants I bought at Goodwill for $2. 

When I showed it to my husband after it was completed.  He said it is the perfect size for a sandwich!!

Next I will finish Sarah Woodham.  I have an hour left on her.

Enjoy.

Oh this came out really lovely. I like the way you have put it all together. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to get near the end of a project. I am coming near the end on Hannah. Hopefully she will be finished over the next few days or by the weekend. - Sandra.

Wow. Your queen stitches and work on Elizebeth Bechtel are fabulous. I always hated the queen. Great fabric choices on Pears & Strawberries. Love the little pattern on the wool.

I love this pattern ,,, Thanks for sharing. Plan on doing this too as a pillow, but first must finish my current project or else, if ya know what I mean? I do have a tendency of wanting to get ahead of myself. Your finished project is exquisite.
