A Stitcher's Finish

My dear blog friend, Elisabetta from Italy

sent me this photo of her 

Linen Sampler Pouch finish.

She bought plain sewing tape and 

cross stitched the x's in the middle of them  

to make the stripe.  Wow!

Beautiful stitching Elisabetta.

I love it and thank you for letting 

me share your finish.

Just Released ~ Linen Sampler Pouch Pattern

Hi Folks....

I've been very busy designing and finally

finished this up!  I'm quite excited and happy

with how it turned out.  It was really a 

work in process.

The pattern is for a very useful 

Linen Sampler Pouch.

Stitched on 32ct Zweigart Light Mocha

linen using WDW Onyx floss.

Great for holding your journal.

If you're like me I keep one around

at all times to jot down ideas

and lists of things needed.

As I said, this was a work in process.

I don't know if your remember, but this

pattern started out like this back in May

(see post here)

http://threadworkprimitives.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-memorial-day.html 

and I decided to rework it into this hanging pouch.

I was unable to get any more of this striped

linen banding and was unsure of the finish.

I am so happy that I changed it and 

have it hung in my sewing studio.

I hope you like the design change too.
Look for 2 more patterns to be released
very soon.

Happy Stitching and thanks

for all the comments on the freebie and 

giveaway.  I'll be doing the random 

draw on the 28th.  Good luck to all!

Hugs,
