Knitting Project Bag

After seeing many such bags on Pinterest and Instagram I decided to sew my own knitting bag.

I chose this lovely printed canvas from Elanbach which has a good firmness required for this kind of project. Very pleased with this first bag I will sew some others using plain canvas from my stash.

Until now I did not buy any new material. The purpose is : using all the stuff I have at home and decluttering.

On the last picture I displayed my new knitting bag next to a shawl I knitted and a cross stitch embroidery I achieved in 2012.

Embroided Pincushion

Pincushion

This is not quilting, but I was feeling like showing one of my pincushions that I re-discovered after putting order in my studio. I think that this embroidery was meant to be a big one (I don't remember what exactly) but it remained at the size of a pincushion!! I suppose the work of cross-stitching on a raw piece of old linen was tedious and backbreaking, and it discouraged me from going further!

 Christmas ambiance at home now, I started decorating for the feast!

Here are some of my collected Santa Claus. Behind is a needlepoint canvas,

and under a cross stitch embroidery, done by me years ago.

The Christmas tree needs some more arrangements.
