A refined version of the Sampler Linen Tote Bag

This was an accidental improvement to the original product – when making up the stitched version of the Sampler Linen Tote Bag, I managed to make it upside down and had already trimmed the corners of the fabric! The happy outcome of this is that my version in the picture is actually a patch sewn on top of the bag and we all prefer this version. It is easier to stitch, you cannot see the back of the stitching inside the bag,you will not catch any of the stitches when filling your tote bag with shopping and it is even stronger and firmer. As a result of this, the pack comes complete with a piece of extra linen, matching the tote bag which you can use for the cross stitch or save for another project.

This has taken a long time to get here but it was worth it! The technology on the internet has changed so much in the ten years since we first launched our site but I must admit I am very proud of the new one. I am very grateful to James, Ben and Amos at Icon.net who have worked so hard to make the new site so lovely to look at and so clever……. We are still working on various aspects of the site, particularly the Forum, so plenty of feedback please.

Welcome to the brand new all singing, all dancing ‘Jane’s Journal’ –I hope you like the new format as much as we do at HQ. I am going to be updating the journal a lot more from now on and this is the place to look to keep up to date with happening here at CSG HQ. For those of you new to the Cross Stitch Guild, headquarters is here at Pinks Barn in Fairford, England. This is where the work goes on behind the scenes and where I do my designing and stitching.
