There is something rather special about a project bag created by your own hands. It becomes more than a place to keep a project — it becomes part of the stitching journey itself.

We are delighted to introduce this beautiful coordinating fabric panel, created to accompany The Queen of the May 2026 ~ Ann Watson 1839.

Designed with care to reflect the spirit and colour palette of Ann Watson’s extraordinary sampler. The warm red tones have been carefully chosen to sit in harmony with the sampler, making this panel a perfect companion piece for your stitching journey.

The printed project bag panel includes the outer and lining panels, along with the coordinating binding, allowing you to create a project bag that is both practical and visually charming. Inside the bag, two cheerful companions greet you each time it is opened, bringing a small moment of delight to your stitching preparations.
