This was my first time stitching velvet and Crazy Patchwork. Using stranded cottons, beads, a shisha mirror and even incorporating a perlè bound washer on the lower left of the back. There were lots of stitches that were new to me - split stitch, feathered chain, double herringbone - and a few not so new - chain stitch, french knots, and lazy daisy flowers.

I then decided I needed to make my own lace.

Your Easter idea is lovely, so colourful, and I will definitely have to make an appliqué purse like yours!
