Don't you just love it when things just come together? I bought this fab fabric, (in background), the other day from a local haberdashery and then the next day one of my eBay purchased Cross Stitcher magazines, (Issue 239 - May 2011), lands on the doorstep featuring cute cupcake charts! I decided to stitch one right away, using beads as "sprinkles" to make a cute gift bag with the fabric.
It was really easy and fun to stitch using only whole stitches and backstitch, I really do enjoy backstitch on cross-stitch designs, it makes such a huge difference and when done over several blocks it creates a nice sketchy look.
I really need to dig out the sewing machine in the next few days and actually start making things up!
