Scrappy Embroidered Pouch

Last Sunday I shared the bicycle I'd been working on out of Gail Pan's Patchwork Loves Embroidery Too.  This week I finished up the rest of the embroidery!

I love the basket of flowers and the little bird!

In the book, this is turned into a little pouch for keeping sewing supplies in, and that's what I've been working on the last couple days.


I decided to use the scraps from the zipper pouch I finished a few weeks ago to make the patchwork part of the pouch.


After layering the front and backing with some batting (these pieces are about a fat eighth size), the next step is to add some hand-quilting to the fabric areas.  I've marked a grid to quilt with Ecru perle cotton thread, size 8, and that's what I'll be working on today!


Sharing at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! and at
Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

That is going to be one cute pouch. I too love that little birdie. Can't wait to see the finish. Have a good Slow Sunday Stitching!

I love this. I am loving see your embroidery and every time I do I want to go grab mine and get back to it. Then I think hmmm just where is it? Because of the renovations, and so I leave it again...

I love this embroidery! It is so beautiful and it becomes a handy pouch for the embroidery. I also made one a couple of years ago. Have a nice week!

The flowers in the basket and the happy blue bird are lovely bike accessories.

How pretty your bicycle pretty is. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could all get on our bicycles, with flowers in the basket and little birdies chirping freely; and go for a lovely bike ride in the park.
