What a difference a color makes

Wow, what a difference. This summer a group of us stitched Melissa Shirley's Mellow Yellow canvas as the very first Mystery Class at Bedecked and Beadazzled.

It was so much fun, and I love my finished purse.



But wow, what a difference a color change can make! A friend of mine stitched the background of hers in black. That was the only color change. We did a different stitch in the background to cover the pink paint more thoroughly, but that's it. Everything else is exactly the same. It is stunning!

She's seeing it here first as she was gracious enough to let me photograph and post before she picks it up. Thanks Sue!



It's simply appliqued to an LL Bean tote bag. Finishing is simple and affordable but with really big gorgeous results. Of course the stitching is lovely too.

Thanks for letting me share this.

Now where are those Spring Flowers???

Woo Hoo! Mellow Yellow is back from the finisher and they did a great job. It's gorgeous! Don't you just love the handles? Hot pink leather, an orange lining and beautious beaded handles.



Now where are my Spring Flowers so that I can carry it?

Guess I'm going to have to wait a few months, but until then it certainly is pretty.
