Lis, you ask...Thanks to you all for the comments. <br /><br />Lis, you asked me about the bag on the front of my book - well it was NOT really meant to be center stage - it was a little gift bag I made in minutes to house an altered board book!! I can hardly remember making it, but I think I just cut out squares (the top one is a photo printed onto canvas) one square smaller than the next and ran a stitch over them. Then made the bag using a similar technique as in the book. I did it really fast, almost as a side thought, not ever thinking it would be front and center on my book! thanks for the Q.Shona Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555714752956771771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23756147.post-13338439030183253252010-04-12T12:40:17.264-05:002010-04-12T12:40:17.264-05:00SO CUTE!!!!
