Store all your beautiful stitching materials in this luscious Happy Hearts Sweet Bag! The verse describes our gratitude for the joy needlework brings, including the friendships formed when we indulge in our common passion. Lovely floral vines climb all over the outside as the ladies stitch together... each flower is a specialty stitch! The matching Biscornu, Scissors Case and Fob as well as any of your project flosses, scissors, needles and pins will all fit neatly inside or in the 4 outside pockets. I hope you have fun learning and stitching this elegant design and practicing your Drawn Thread and Hardanger weaving. When it’s finished, take it with you to your future retreats or display and use it for all your stitching supplies! At the back of this leaflet, you’ll find a thorough step-by-step finishing guide and photographs to help you finish your own sweet bag like Lisa did. You will be so proud to use this elegant set at your next guild meeting or stitcher’s gathering! See how easy Beautiful Finishing really is! -Thea
