Cross Stich

Bird Ditty Bag

I absolutely love creating these sweet ditty bags! My favorite color is red so of course there is red all through this bag! The lining is a beautiful red civil war reproduction fabric from my stash. The back of the bag and strap were made using a rich brown reproduction civil war fabric that compliments the lining perfectly. It measures 8.5” x 6.5” with a 21” strap. Fun fact about the way I do some of my bags...they are completely reversible. When I want to change things up around my house I simply turn the bag inside out and add a sprig of greenery or Sweet Annie. The second photo shows what it looks like after turning it inside out.

Pincushion in vintage Base Pending

This design, which I’ve stitched using silk threads on 40 count overdyed linen is a Sue Hillis Design. It is sitting in a vintage pincushion base, which I had found at an antique shop in Pennsylvannia a few years ago. I finished it in such a way, so that the pincushion could be removed if you wanted to change it out, but it does have a nice snug fit. I also made the matching scissors fob, which is filled with crushed walnut shells, and has an antique button. Scissors are included. It measures 5 1/4” in diameter, and about 1 1/2” high. Travel fare is 15.00, which includes tracking. Please click on photo to see additional pictures.
