Beach Bag

This is a beach bag by JBW Designs. I loved this when I saw this long, long ago. I believe that I stitched it around 12 or so years ago. There was a local cross-stitch stop near me and they were selling the pattern as well as the finished bag.

The piece was cross-stitched directly on the bag, which wasn't too easy to do since I was new to stitching on linen. I am really pleased with how it turned out, but admittedly, I don't want anything to happen to the bag or stitching, so I never use it as a bag! (LOL)

I like to decorate our kitchen area for the holidays, such as Easter and the fourth of July. I use it as part of the fourth of July decor. It is so cheery hanging up on the closet door. :)
