\"Cotton<\/a>

Cotton Bag with Aida panel, beginning the Design <\/p><\/div>\n

Here is something else I have found in a heap of things to finish…<\/p>\n

This cotton tote bag with an aida panel across the front was a free gift with a magazine, several years ago. It must have been about the time I was designing the series “Inspired by Clarice Cliff<\/a>“, and it probably seemed a good idea to cover all the aida, rather than having threads stretching across the back of the stitching.<\/p>\n

It’s a real trial to stitch, though. I’m not at all surprised it ended up at the bottom of the workbasket. If the handles don’t get in the way, the rest of the bag does. Since it is made without a seam at the bottom, I can’t even release the seam to make life easier, although I admit that doing so might not help as much as you’d hope.<\/p>\n

\"Another<\/a>

Another Clarice Cliff Inspired Design<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is a close-up of the design as far as it is stitched. I’ve used Anchor Stranded Cotton, and the variegated thread is one of Anchor’s standard variegated threads. I’ve stitched the primary section in that thread in two phases of half-cross stitch, to spread out and change the colour effect a little.<\/p>\n

This is going to be my “travelling project” until it is finished, as when I sort out the threads it should be quite compact, and it’s not such fine and delicate stitching as most of my other current projects. As I don’t travel regularly, it will be a while before you see it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
