Instant Embroidery Bags

bags 1
Happy 2011! Or is it a bit late for that? Yes, I'm one of those bloggers that have been putting of the first blog post of the year thinking it should be something super deep and meaningful. I'm not so sure this will be one of those posts :)

I have had so much fun embroidering canvas tote bags. I'll be sharing some more designs soon.  A really great project to do if you are looking for some instant gratification. Well you have to stitch it first, which is OK since that is the fun part, right? And then you are done! I have also some white cushion covers waiting to be decorated. Can't wait to get my hands on those!

p.s. just in case you  are curios, the fabric peeking behind the bag is from Marimekko but I can't remember the name of the fabric or the designer. Can anyone help me with that?

Could the fabric be "Poimulehti"?

Hi Mari! The bag is very sweet :-) I hope you had a good holiday time & wish you a happy new year (slightly delayed, but still from the heart).
All the best & hopefully until soon,
