touches of red

The border is just about done and I found the right
fabric for the back that matches perfectly.



I made another gingerbread heart.
This one is a larger version of the ones I made last year.



It so much fun to create something new out of old stuff! The brown piece was originally a small table cloth with four embroidered corners. It came from a triftshop. I'm making  the last heart from the last leftover corner.
So, that was one small, old tablecloth well used, I would say!



Because of a few days off from work I can get a lot of sewing done.
Here is another red angel bag. The same as last years angel bags, only this time I used a pink and red roses fabric for the lining and added a silk rose.



To end today's post I show you what came in the mail yesterday.
It has nothing to do with today's post title but I'm so happy with this Mary Engelbreit 2010 calendar. I bought this at Amazon.



I'm off now, have to get my Mexican flu shot this afternoon, brrrr!
