Some more cosmetic bags that i gave as presents... tried to use the two toned (variegated) thread that i had bought before i even owned an embroidery machine! little did i know how important the quality of the thread was to make my life easier!! the back design with the gold thread was a nightmare to finish... thread kept breaking every other second! had to switch to another thread so half design is with the variegated thread and half with a solid colour...didnt repeat the same mistake when i did the purple bag! I also made a mistake with the S... it is upside down!! The quilting i also done with variegated thread... still unsure on how i feel about the end result... thoughts??

Your bags are stunning, love it. Well done. I also love veriegated threads, and use the very pale ones for background quilting on light fabric.

As a user of S, I critique them often. This is lovely.
I certainly would be honored with such a beautiful piece. The hours you spent getting it quilted were rewarded with this visual delight.
Great work.

On the S.... I do that sometimes as well. The design you used is just fine the way it is. I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't say so (and I have an S name myself). Love the variegated thread on the quilting. It makes the quilting look even more dimensional. These are great bags!

I just noticed.... these are the Jenny Doan bags?? I love the little fabric tab on both ends of the zipper. It's a nice finishing touch. --Sharon

A very good job. I love the two cosmetic bags. The position of the letter S is not inconvenient.

I think you have done a grand job with these cosmetic bags. No one would have know the letter S was upside down unless you mentioned it., but it still looks good. Sandra.

Beautiful done! I like the was the S look. Would have not know it was upside down. Is there a web site where you got the design? I really like the two tone colors. Just keep on making they I don't get tired of seeing then or any other design done by other embroiders. It helps all of us.
