Flannel, who'd a thunk?

It's a chilly Monday morning here, really starting to feel like fall. This is absolutely my favourite time of year. The colours, the clean smell in the air, pumkins and gourds, coziness and long evenings, sweaters, hot stews and soups...I could go on. I think it's partly that we're getting close to winter and Christmastime, but not quite there yet, not quite close enough to see the end of Christmastime (just after Christmas is one of my least favourite times) and the truth of the long winter ahead.

In the spirit of autumn I decided to try embroidering a squirrel onto a tote. You may be thinking "but squirrels aren't just around in the fall," and you're right, but see it started with acorns, and then acorns led to squirrels. Anyway, the tote pattern is from Bend The Rules Sewing I'm satisfied with this bag. Finally, a bag that is not floppy! Amy uses white flannel as an interfacing, and wow, it's works perfectly--still soft, but no flop.
