Finished the cross and have begun a new bag.
First piece finished - the front of my bag. There are 2 side pieces to do to finish the front and then the same for the back. I hope to finish it by the weekend. Wish me luck! Love Chris

Thanks Tonya, yes, it's Sweetpea - as Caroline has put in. I also have it in the Tag at the bottom of my post. Love Chris
I thought it was Sweetpea but didn't want to assume.

That must be the most gigantic hoop on Earth...and just the right size for this very exclusive project! The fabric combination is fantastic!This looks like it was all done ITH, but that would be difficult. Would you lilke to share how you did this?

Hi Penny, this is all done in the hoop. It's an applique design from Sweetpea. Each colour change tells you what to do. EG. first run it stitches out the placement line, second stitch you place the fabric on and it stitches it down etc. They have full instructions with every design they make. Love Chris The hoop is 360x200 for my Husqvarna Ruby Royale. I think the largest hoop for my new Husqvarna Epic is a bit bigger!!!!
Thanks for the extra info. Sweetpea has fabulous designs! (I had a corgi named Sweetpea once and seeing her name brought fond memories to me.)
