Goodness has that woman ever been busy.I wanted to quickly post my progress from today. It doesn't seem like much, but I have been sewing all afternoon.
This one I just started to embellish. It will be a neck pouch with clasp.
This blue one is a small coin purse with a clasp that has a connected key chain.
I just had to give her a tiny vintage rose montee earring.
I hope to find more of those clasps at the International Quilt festival the 17th! I can't wait!!! My yearly adventure into Chicago.The purple case will have an open top and will also be a neck pouch.
I think this image is so pretty. 
She has strawberry blond/red hair which looks great with the purple I think.Cathy Kizerian sent her puzzle pieces which is posted now on the blog. Cathy also slipped in some beautiful vintage laces from her antiquing ventures.
Thank you Cathy, you shouldn't have my dear, but you know I will put them to good use! :-) I found the angel wings!!!! :-)That's it for me today...bath.....sleep...and do it all again tomorrow!
Hi Pat! Loved seeing your purses; they're all so pretty. I don't know whether you've discovered this place or not but I used them once when making a purse: http://www.purseparadise.com/ They have lots of tempting stuff, including fasterners.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely purses you are working on! WOW! Your giftees are beautiful, too! I so admire your work. I aspire to someday stitch like you. :)
ReplyDeleteYour purses are lovely--you get so much done!
ReplyDeleteI think my e-mails to you have been blocked. It's very late notice now, but tonight is the April meeting for Needle Artisans of Northwest Indiana. I sent you invitations to join us by e-mail. Lelia began a new blog for chapter news: http://needleartisans.blogspot.com/Please let me know if you can come!
Your purses are beautiful. I've never heard of neck puches before!

Hello Pat,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting me! Well I have to laugh because I came home with the tall white porcelain hand form!! LOL I crochet fancy cuffs and gloves and thought it would be perfect for displaying them for sale..it's the perfect size! I'll post it in a few days and let you know.
Your crazy quilting is divine!!! I wound up ordering some of the hand painted silk ribbon from the peppercorn lady! I think you had mentioned her in an article you wrote at Art-e-zine. I got what she had left..seems like she's got many life challenges right now..bless her heart.
