Part cross-stitch project, part zippered bag, the Garden Dalliance Project Bag bridges two beloved needle arts. Using the “Linen” aida-look-alike print from Shelley's Garden Threads collection, you'll cross-stitch directly onto quilt fabric to recreate the Summerlea star block—or substitute a favorite 8" quilt block of your own—then sew it into a roomy 10" x 13" zip bag. It's an easy introduction to both cross-stitch and bag making: simple to kit and just right for a weekend class. Sized to tote your Garden Dalliance book or any of Shelley's block-of-the-month projects, it's a perfect way to carry fabric or a favorite stitchy WIP wherever you go. This project is best suited for confident beginners and features the linen print from designer Shelley Cavanna's Garden Threads fabric collection with Benartex Fabrics.
