PS small finish

Chart: Prairie Schooler, adapted from leaflet 'Garden Gloves'

Threads used: WDW Saffron, Emeral, Bluecoat blue, Sweet Potato and I can't remember the red one.

Shame on you, PS girls! ;-) The pattern was from PS leaflet Garden Gloves. I was itching to do a luggage tag since a long time, and this week I needed to find a one evening quickie to stitch, so here it is. I had to adapt the chart so it has the right shape in the luggage tag, and I think I managed to do it nicely. The other side has a ready-made address label where I wrote the relevant info. Mind you, I won't ever attach it onto a bag/suitcase that travels in the luggage compartment in a plane as I don't want to risk having it stolen. It'll be perfect for hand luggage!
Not sure if I ever mentioned it here but in December the central lock in my Samsonite suitcase was broken and someone stole an expensive perfume I had in it. Swiss (the airline) behaved great and reimbursed me 300 CHF for both, which maybe doesn't cover the full price of a new luggage and perfume, but quite a big part of it. I *was* lucky and it covers how great they are.

It was the first time I stitched on vinyl paper. I think I like it much more than regular perforated paper.

This luggage tag turned out very nice! Great job making the design fit the shape.

Thank you, Chelle! Actually the big green ugly frog did visit me more than once during that process! LOL
