Dankie Kind. It was really enjoyable to do this.

I really love your handbag, you did GOOD!!!!!!

Lovely bag. Just love it.

Great idea, love this :)

Thank you Cuties for all the wonderful comments. I enjoyed it so much to stitch out the creative stitches. Going to make a 2nd bag. I used 100% cotton and 5 different colours cutting in strips. Used Heat n Bond to secure it calico. And then you let go!!! PM me if you need more advise.

Very pretty! Suzanne

Marthie, what a stunning job. Just love they way it turned out. Hugs Yvonne

I mean ' my to do list'

Love this , what a wonderful idea. Does the fabric have different tones or did you also create your base fabric? What kind of fabric as in how heavy is it, cotton , upholstery ??? Sorry for so many questions. I would love to try to make something like this.

very nice

Marthie, this is lovely. *4U

Cannot believe that this is homemade. WOW Marthie, a wonderful job.

Wow, what a beatiful bag you have made, love it!

What a really stunning bag. Well done. Shirley

Beautiful bag. Astonishing!
The base fabric was a single color or pieces that are assembled by the point bite?

Sieht wunderschön aus,tolleFarben

well done, very creative.

Great bag - well done! What was the base fabric?

You have made a lovely bag which makes good use of decorative stitches. I would have been fun doing this with others in a class.

Just love your bag what a nice piece of work you have done here, you are very clever, regards Carol

Your bag is beautiful! Great job.

Beautiful work :)

Beautiful bag. Did you piece the fabric or was that just one beautiful piece? Love your choice of stitches and threads.

love it. you have inspired me to have a try.

What a great bag you have made Marthie

What a lovely bag you've made! I used those machine stitches a lot in the past - before embroidery machine - now only occasionally, which is a shame as your bag shows what great results can be obtained. Thanks for the inspiration!

What a super bag youve made. :)

Wow très joli, bravo!

Wonderful bag

The pattern the stitches created looks like tapestry. Like how you did your handles also.

Nice tote

Well done. I am sure you will enjoy using this and showing it with pride.

Awesome i think we all would love to have a bag like this hugs:):)

Love it

Beautiful -Lyn
