Folding Ort Box and Ort Box with a Twist by Marilyn Owen, Lining

The linings are attached. I used white thread to attach the black ultrasuede on the Folding Ort Box which matches the canvas and is not seen from the front. However, it did show on the inside. So, I used a black marker to color the thread. Can you spot the one diagonal row not done yet?

I love the colors with black and the overdyed thread.

For the Ort Box with Pockets, I have a green border, green ultrasuede, and green sewing thread. So, no marker needed.

I’m ready for assembly.

This will make a good travel project (small and no bars). I plan switch between reading and stitching during the 3-hour flight to New Orleans. I have gathered my stuff to take with me. One of Debbie Stiehler’s riffs during her talk at the NAN dinner was on who brings needlepoint to stitch on to an event where you will be taking needlepoint classes. Guilty!

I’m guilty Melita. You always need stitching for time at airports, during flights and even after the class when your brain is fried. See you in a few days.
