Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859

Tote party #3
Panel 2 is finished! I also cross-hatched this one but chose to do a more open 45 degree angle and used my serpentine stitch since the fabric design is so curvy. I'm really happy with the result! I took the time to mark out my lines which really helped because I could just put the pedal to the metal and guide the fabric through. The last line was a thrilling race to get to the end before the bobbin thread ran out. Heh, why is it that I think if I just sew faster, the bobbin won't run out on me?
Thanks for all the wonderful comments you all are leaving, they really keep me going!
