In the beginning this bag was supposed to be two placemats, I thought it was too big but was quite a waste to resize it...now you got a cute denim purse. As usual, all the denim works I have done so far are recycled from old jeans. The appliques are from this cute fat quaters that I had for a long, long while but felt it is a sin to cut through all of those beautiful prints. I put a small pocket on the inside, the handles were liberated from an old purse to give it nice finish look.

Tell me what do you think???

Floral Purse

This tote was made before the Batik tote, it was for my daughter's birthday but, after it's finished; the size is too big for a six year-old girl (I made her a new smaller purse to carry her dolls and a new pink camera courtesy from Grandma.).

Batik Surprise!!!

I was tiding up my sewing room last week and what do you know!!! found this beautiful brown batik fabric. Too small to make a blouse or a summer pants, then .... I decided to make a shopping tote bag. Something that could be taken to the grocery store or off window shopping for the day. It's 11'' by 15", with a few inside pockets; for cellphone, a camera and a notebook.... what do you think??? .

We met our sisters-in-stitches at the Gathering. It was a pleasant surprise!! Ms. Patsy and Ms. Suzanne and Ms. Jan were there displaying their creativities. Unfortunately, (again) I didn't take agood photos of their booth but I did take a good picture of the banner.

7th Annual - A Gathering of Central Pennsylvania Fiber & Neddlework Guilds and Crafters Market

The annual event was on Saturday, February 28, 2009 in Harrisburg, PA I had wonderful time, to be surrounded by gifted artists and their best works was a big privilege. Hope to attend this event again next year.

The Wool and Peace Rug Hooking Guild conducted two classes, making wool flowers using the method of "proddy". My wool flower did came up pretty good, though I might not try a second anytime soon.
