I found the perfect pocketbook to use Autumn Leaves with a couple of weeks ago but dawdled about appliquing the canvas to the front until two weeks ago when the county fair deadline pushed me into finishing this piece. I whipstitched it to the front of this purse, which happened to be the right shade of red and also is made of what looks like a knit cotton. The material the purse is made from is perfect for attaching a NP canvas and then hiding the stitches with trim.
Do you like it? I hope Mom does! This is her birthday present for next month. (This is a secret, remember? Don' give it away!) Her favorite color is red and this is the perfect early autumn purse.
Lani's design looks great here. An all tent stitch piece is perfect for such a finished item. Here's a closer look.

This is wonderful, and she will be thrilled! Great idea!
I'm glad you like it. It is a lot of fun to treat family who love your needlework and Autumn Leaves is just perfect for something like this as it won't be easily snagged even if she tosses it over her arm and it bangs around hitting her coat or the car door, etc.
