Medium-sized Miche Bags!

Whoo Hooo! Medium-sized Miche Bags have arrived! I got this one at “Sisters,” my friend, Gail’s shop in Melody Square, N. Wilkesboro, NC. What’s that got to do with crafting? If you’re not familiar with Miche Bags, they are basic bags with interchangeable covers. If I don’t come up with a handmade cover pattern for them, you can bet those smart girls at etsy.com will! In the meantime, I still intend to buy the originals from the original company. Here’s a link if you can’t get by Gail’s: http://www.michebag.com/

I stitched this little towel years ago, and it was waiting for me to figure out how to set the colors before I used it. I submerged it in the vinegar bath I made to set my red thread for the breadcloth from a previous post. It’s cross-stitched over a pre-printed design. I particularly liked stitching it because I didn’t have to count stitches. I just matched thread colors.

I’ve been itching to do some stitching! ‘Funny how muscle memory in your fingers seems to beg to do something. I’ve been missing cross stitching.

I knew a breadcloth/basketliner would be just enough to cure my itch. These motifs are from the Cross-Stitchers Club. They are from a pattern called “Mountain Landscape.” ‘Quick and easy!
