I had another wonderful stitchy weekend, but this time no pictures were taken! I think we were all too busy stitching, and I mean who wants to see the same faces again, and again? On Friday after work
Christin and I headed down to
Kathy's for the weekend. On Saturday we were joined by
Beatrice for the day, and
Bonnie who stayed until Sunday (like we did).
Zipper bag, with Kathy's help I made two from the same fabric
Oh boy did we stitch? Also Kathy was kind enough to show Bonnie and I how to make the adorable zippered bags she had gifted us with some time ago. It was my first time sewing anything with a zipper on it ever! I made two of them at Kathy's with her close guidance.
When I got home this evening I also took the time to be creative in other ways, and made three scissor fobs.
Of course you want to see some stitching right?
I finished up this ornament last weekend, but had yet to share it with you.

Love your bags and also your fobs.
Congrats on finishing Nordic Mitten. All your WIPs look great. You made quite some progress :)
You've made a lot of progress on Enchantment. It's beautiful.
Any word on the postal strike? I'm looking forward to getting going on those quilt squares.
It was great seeing you again!
Your WIPS and fobs look great!
Everything is beautiful Dani!
Beautiful stitching Dani. Both pieces look amazing and the JBW mitten finish is cute. Your stitching weekend getaways sound like so much fun!
Sounds like a great time. Great progress on your WIPs - Love your little zipped bag and fobs.
Sounds like another great weekend. Love your ornament finish. Great progress on your wips. Lovely scissor fobs and zipper bag.
Great progress on your WIPs, Enchantment is stunning.
ohhh well done on your new little bags :) and wow your Enchantment of winter is looking stunning :) glad you had a great time catching up with your stitching friends too ): love mouse xxxx
one can never get tired of seeing the same faces when we stitch so pictures of familiar faces are a bonus. Glad you guy get the chance to get together on a regular basis. Great progress and love the scissor fobs.
Be always in stitches.
Beautiful stitching Dani :-)
Oh dear. I see another purchase in my future. EoW is really starting to call to me. It looks gorgeous Danni. Really, keep up the good work. Your mitten finish is cute too. Grats on the progress and and the zippered case you made. I love the colors you chose for your fobs! Just everything is wow!!
Looks like you've been keeping busy with all kinds of crafty endeavors!!!
EoW is looking amazing. It's nice to do some smaller finishes between the large projects.
Nice scissor fobs too.
Sounds like you had a great girls stitching weekend. I love the zippered case you made. How big is it? Very cute. Your Enchantment of Winter is really coming along beautifully! I have enjoyed watching your progress on this one.
Love Enchantment of Winter. And your fobs are lovely. You inspire/enable me to make a few of my own. I have had all the necessary materials and tools for two years now but have never found the time to research a good tutorial and get down and "do it".
I'll be interested to see how Accolade will develop. I have deliberately not done an on-line search to see a stitched model. I am letting it unfold as a sort of mystery project before my very eyes.
Love the scissor fobs and the scissors. :-) Where did you get the 1st pair of scissors from and what brand are they?

Hey, I have that same blue-starred fabric--want to make me a bag, too, Dani :) Yours looks great...zippers scare me so I've never tried making my own.
Your little red and white mitten is darling and what wonderful progress you're making on your large WIPs. That over one stitching looks very intense--good luck :)
Oh my gosh...Enchantment of Winter!!! Stunning!
I love the cord attachment you did for the scissors fobs...very clever.
Great work on the fabric bags Dani!Love it!
It looks like it was a productive weekend at Kathy's. Enchantment is sooo gorgeous!
Love the mitten ornament too and your scissor fobs are fantastic!
Good work.
Your bag and your fobs are gorgeous Dani:)
Lovely progress on your WIps.
It was a fun weekend wasn't it. I love spending time with my stitch friends.
EofW is stunning in person. That cathedral over one is exquisite.
You did a great job on the bags!!!
Great stitching and the bags and scissor fobs are very nice too. Sounds like you had a great weekend
I would have been much happier with you this weekend than working - but such is life. Looks lile lots was accomplished, your stitching and fobs are beautiful.
Well done on your sewing, I love your bag, and the fob is very pretty.
Great progress on your two projects as well.
I am so envious of you with all of stitching weekends with your buddies. The scissor fobs are gorgeous and I am really enjoying seeing your wip photo on enchantment, it is looking wonderful.
