Seemed like a good day to show you what you can do with your finished sampler. I decided to add it to a canvas market tote because it's so easy to do.
Started with a blank tote already here.
Auditioned some background fabrics.
The linen won because it's beautiful, neutral, doesn't compete and adds sophistication rather than more sweetness. I was planning to paint the bag with a potato print but decided against that. Less is more this time.
Sewed the embroidered piece to the linen and then pressed the edges under for a pocket. Pinned and stitched that to the bag. So there. Done.
Ready for more peaches and plums tomorrow at the farmer's market!
Lovely ~ just purchased! Thanks so much for sharing your talents :)

How cute and what a wonderful idea to turn it into a bag.
