Almost St. John Paul II!

In the spirit of the good news, I took time to work on various sewing projects including a tote bag with machine embroidered pictures of Pope John Paul II. I discovered the ornate fabric on a jaunt to the fabric warehouse, yesterday, and realized it would be a good background for the embroidery. My trick to matching the colors of the bag so well to the frames on the pictures of the Pope? I just used the backside of the tote bag fabric and it was a perfect blend.

I also have an embroidery design for an older picture of the Pope and am thinking about using this one and his final one for another tote bag. Sigh . . . too much fabric, too little time . . .
