When I was home in Australia last month I found a top-quality suitcase on someone’s front lawn — with a note saying FREE, PLEASE TAKE ME. So I did.
When I got it back to my parent’s house, I found that not only did the suitcase have the original price tag and sales receipt (yes it’s still under warranty) but it contained — wait for it — Aida cloth, cotton quilt batting, linen cutouts, and a sewing box.
Hurray.
So I used the suitcase to get all my old sewing books and patterns (plus the stuff that was inside) back over to the Philippines and just this morning I stitched one of the linen cutouts onto a canvas tote bag. I just love it.
Happy Tuesday friends, may you find something magical today plus some time to stitch and sew.

Here is the other floral cutout I found in the suitcase — I stitched it up later in the day. All that’s left now is to decide whether to give them away as Christmas gifts, or use them myself as shopping bags.
