Completed purse!

Over the weekend I finished the purse!  Yay!  Had to take pictures in a hurry because the person who commissioned it dropped in unexpectedly and I wanted her to take it with her when she left.

Today's quote is from an unknown source... "The ornament of a house is the friends that frequent it"

Done, Done, Done!!!!

Purse # 3 is done!

Purse # 3 is done!

Let the bells ring out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 The front....

...and the back.

This is the last of the purses I have to make and must admit I'm rather hopeful that I won't have

to make any more for awhile.  I love doing the crazy quilt part, but the sewing together?  Not so much!

This afternoon it's dull and raining so it's a good day to spend in my sewing studio making cute little baby flannel receiving blankets.  At least they're a whole lot more cheerful than it is outside.  Oh yes...and they're calling for snow flurries again.  ARGH!!!!!!!!

This quote is by the infamous Anonymous....  "This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it"

  

Purse 1/3 completed....

Finally finished one of the three purses!   The front is shown in the photo on the left....

....and the back on the right.  The back wasn't a feature on the original pattern and came about because I messed up on the first purse I made and didn't read the directions properly (oops).  It ended up being something I really liked, so I have continued to add it.

Pattern: 'The Gadabout' by Studio Kat Designs.

Done, done, and......done!

from Studio Kat Designs.

Black project revealed...

I know at least one of my readers has been waiting for the beg reveal of the mysterious black project I've been working on, so here you go....

It's a purse!!

Here's the outside of the front...

 

 the back....

 the inside....

The pattern is the 'Gadabout' from Studio Kat Designs.  It measures approx. 9 x 9 x 3 1/2 inches and has LOTS of pockets.  I have added an extra pocket (which shows in the pictures above on the back) simply because I goofed and made one too many pieces of crazy quilting that I didn't need.  Couldn't let it go to waste so decided to simply make another pocket so I could use it.

Now I want to make another one in,

what else?

DENIM!!
