    Thank you Denise. What a great idea. I sure do miss you covering cross stitch also. You CONSTANTLY supplied us with patterns from all over the place. Always something new.

    I’m sorry, Valerie, I don’t. I just thought it was cool that someone figured out we could stitch on these purses.

    Thank you Denise! Do have another question – on your purse the perforations seem to make a square design, easy to insert your crosses, however, on the sites to purchase the handbag the perforations do not form a perfect square – any suggestions for stitching if unable to form a perfect cross-stitch? How was yours done? Wonder why the differential, or is it just the photos? THANK YOU!!! I also just noticed there are smaller sizes of the perforated Mason bags so for those you can’t afford the $148 price tag there is a $108 dollar version and an $80 mini version! whoohoo!

    I didn’t answer clearly, Valerie. Totally my fault. The purse is not my work in any way. I was just reporting on a post by Bari Ackerman on her We Love French Knots blog. Just follow the link in my story to Bari’s blog, where you can contact her directly. I think she was just reporting, too, so she may not have a lot of advice to share. The Fossil bags were not created specifically to be stitched on, so using them that way probably takes a bit of improvisation. Sorry I can’t be more help.
