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.
Beautiful pocket !
Absolutely beautiful job finishing this! To me, that is always the hardest part!
Thank you for your kind compliments.
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.
