Sew We Quilt teamed up with Brooke Nolan and Cory Blunt to create some vintage counted cross stitch and pinny's for our bags in each of the four seasons. Guess what season I picked... YES, I picked SUMMER. First it's my favorite season. Second Brooke's design was red/white/blue. And third, I figured by the time mid January rolled around, we'd need something "summery" to remind us of fun, warm days ahead in the midst of the cold, dreary winter weather we're having.
So without further delay.... Here's my TAMMY FOR ALL SEASONS VINTAGE SUMMER BAG.
The cross stitching up close. I added some outline stitches to give it more definition against the white Aida cloth.
And my Pinny on the back. I ordered Cori's pattern, which is super cute but I had other visions for my Pinny. I thought what is more vintage and summer and red/white/blue than a bunting? So here's my bunting on my Pinny.
And the back of my Pinny to hold my needles, scissors, and the cutest little pocket to catch all my threads.
I couldn't resist a few more pictures of my Tammy bag. I had fun taking them. It looks so cute on my vintage red bicycle.
Of course I couldn't have done this without my Beam n Read light. You can read all about it here. And this hop sure couldn't be possible without the awesome cheerleader Mary at I Piece 2-Mary and our fabulous sponsors:
BEAM N READ ( led light)
Brooke's Books ( seasonal vintage counted cross stitch designs)
Chitter Chatter ( applique and embroidered pinnies)

MsAppleHeart ( Tammy Bag Pattern)
READERS ( best readers on the market for those who need to see their patterns
up close and personal)
SNAP SOURCE ( great gadget for adding snaps to our bags)

Now hop on over to the others on the hop and see what creativity they did with their TAMMY FOR ALL SEASONS BAG. You're gonna love them all.
