The last offering for the 2016 Ladies Prim Society is another gorgeous piece by Barb and Alma of Blackbird Designs. It is a lovely Christmas Design called Tis the Season Sewing Bag and pictured below.

The kit comes complete with 36ct linen for stitching the bag, and a piece for the lining as well as the threads and ribbon for finishing. Since I cannot see well enough to stitch on 36ct, I chose a piece of hand dyed Brown 16ct AIda. This design is a little different in that the front of the bag is stitched vertically and the back of the bag is stitched horizontally. I am also stitching with two strands of floss rather than the one strand that was recommended.

And the best thing about this one is I did the finishing all by myself!
As always, Blackbird has produced another beautiful pattern. Love it. Can’t wait to see your fully finished piece. Happy stitching……………
I’ve just discovered your blog and I’ve spent some time in admiring your cross stitch works.
I,m a big fan of Blackbird designs too.
Happy stitching!
