Stitcherhood of the Traveling Pattern

While this is technically not a WIP, I did sign up for this Stitch Along in 2018 and could not resist a start when it arrived in my mailbox!

There had been 3 stitchers before me, their challenges and joys of stitching this project outlined in letters that accompanied the pattern. I added my own along with this conversion and sent the packet along to the next stitcher.

While I cannot tell you the fabric count or color (as I was determined to use only materials from my stash) I have included my conversion above which took 12 days to stitch. I found the actual colors to be quite different than the cover photo and wanted to include my favorite variegated silks for flags into the design.

 

I adored the idea of being part of a bigger stitching circle and as the pattern weaves it's way throughout the country I thank the original owner who thought to share this out of print gem!

Farm Fresh Bags

I may not have accomplished much stitching, but these project bags were just too irresistible not to make!

Commissioned bags shown, but more are available on my Facebook page at Stitching maiden project bags.
