Breast Cancer Bag.Made this for a young woman, (not sure age, but under 40), that goes to church where my daughter attends.It is bigger than the 5x7 ITHs.This is done the old fashion way, but very EASY.I will try to give the link to the tutorial.Anyway, I tried stippling it with the 5x7 stipple design that I used on the other ITH bag, by rehooping, tried not to let it overstitch, but it has in places.. Does it look Okay or is it to bad to give?

They are both beautiful. Sometines the smallest gesture means more than we can ever realize. You probably didn't even think of this but it will help your daughter also, having just a little something to offer makes the right words easier. When your daughter gives them to Beth she will know they are filled with prayers for her.

Great job on it and the stippling looks fine the way it is and gives it that store bought look.

I like stippling.I just can't do it free hand.That is why I had to use my 5x7 stippling design twice,and if you notice it doesn't go all the way to the outer edge.BUT the more I look at it, I like it better,or maybe it is all of you Cuties encouraging me.Thank you-Toogie

I think it looks really good. Nobody but us will inspect every stitch. It'll be a great gift!

People like us, who sew and emb, notice things like this.People who don't, never notice, but my daughter liked it so I sent it.

toogie by toogie 20 Sep 2013

I guess I am my worse critic, but I wanted it to be special for her, it was for me.Thanks-Toogie

I only notice the (many) flaws in my own work or sometimes the obvious flaws in commercially made items.
Toogie, I am sure it will be special for her. If a complete stranger went to the trouble of making a gift for me -- it would touch my heart and bring joy to my soul.

Please give it to her. It was made with love for her. I think it will give her a lot of joy to have been not just remembered but to have something to hold in her hands to show how loved she is.

She is loved, as she is one of God's children.Your WORDS mean a lot to ME.As I stated below, she doesn't even know me, nor I her, but I did know her dad.My daughter says she is so sweet, they call her Beth. Her name is Elizabeth Anne.I gave it to my daughter,to give, when I brought Avery home this evening.My daughter liked it.She said she could put it on her wrist and tuck it under her arm like a clutch.Thank you, Karen for your kindness-Toogie

She doesn't know me but I knew her dad,I told my daughter she didn't have to say who it was from.Her dad died, when she was little, and her brother got killed in an auto accident, when he was grown.

My finished size was 6x9.It is completely lined, no raw edges.I didn't have iron on interfacing so I stippled to cutaway same size as fabric 11 x 14 x(2).
