Another Little Evening Bag

Another little gem made entirely of silk dupioni in a rich deep toffee brown.

Free motion quilting with a copper metallic thread, beaded with tiny copper colored and deep ruby colored beads. Three tear drop beads at the bottom point make a sparkling tassel.

Champagne silk dupioni lining with small snap closure. Dark chocolate brown satin cording 

with a 19 inch drop. The bag has padding for the feel of softness and protecting 

your valuables. 

 MMMM dark chocolate and toffee, I am getting hungry.

But it is back to the studio for me.

OK OK maybe one little tiny piece of Theo chocolate.

The one with sea salt sprinkled on top.....

I digress as usual........LOL

Little artsy purse

Well I am just about finished with my orchid lavender swing purse. Don't you just wonder what she is dreaming about? I think it's flowers at the seashore. The tide has brought in some lovely pearls and a silver star fish. Just needs a few more finishing touches and then it will be either in my Etsy or the Wildflowerhouse Shoppe. So back to work.

Fleur Fairy Bag

I love flowers and when I found this image... well I just had to create this little purse. You can click on the image for a closer view. I think she is a delightful little fairy surrounded with flowers and french script. You will find her in my shop as soon as I can part with her.

Another Little Swing Purse

I love the colors in this purse. I used silk dupioni and vintage laces as the main part of the purse. Lined it in silk. Added a silk yo yo flower, silk ribbon roses & leaves and a silk image of a lovely lady. I got the image from Shabby Cottage Studios. Gail has always had wonderful images. She also has a wonderful and fun monthly challenge at Mind Wide Open. Here are some close ups. I used lots of tiny beads & silk threads for embroidery. I love how silk thread just flows so easily through the materials. I was getting ready to put this one on my Etsy, when a friend came by, saw it and had to have it as a gift for someone. So now I shall start all over again for my Etsy. But I don't mind at all. I am just so pleased she liked it. I enjoy making these. Just spreading the word about crazy quilting. :-)

Finished !

Spent the weekend finishing up my little girl purse. Lots of fun ribbons and lace, buttons and bows. The colors are bright and cheerful. I lined the purse with sheared cotton velvet. Oh to be a little girl again and have a tea party! The back and the stuffed strap are a delightful purple and pink with polka dots, of course! What fun.

Finished!

I am now finished with my purse. I love how it turned out. The colors are soft muted shades of sage , a mellow yellow, rust, all the colors of Fall. I dyed and blended the lace motifs and silk ribbons. The back of the bag is a sheared chenille in a warm rust color. The strap is also the chenille, hanging length of 20 inches. I was really lucky to find the 6 inch fringe. The colors are exactly the colors in the purse. The purse before the fringe is 10 by 8 and has a shimmering lame lining. It's truly a swing purse.

My dreaming purse is finished

Finally found enough time to put the finishing touches on my "Dreaming in the garden", purse. I like how it turned out. The colors are so warm and I couldn't believe my luck in finding the fringe that I did. It is absolutely a match with all the fabric in the purse including the back, which is sheared chenille. Now it's on to more projects. The weather has been unusually warm but they are threatening snow at Snoqualmie pass ( which is only 25 miles east of me). So I shall lap up all the sun I can before the big brrrrr!

ANOTHER PROJECT UNDERWAY...

I've been dying lace motifs for this cq purse. Have lots left to do. Plan on adding some hand dyed silk pongee cording to the gold dupioni area. I wonder what this luscious lady is thinking about? Perhaps the dragon fly above her head.....

TEA FOR TWO PURSE

I am working on this little purse for a young lady.

It is part of my mommy and me series of purses

for young ladies. Every girl should have a purse,

don't you think! Still have lots of beading and

more silk ribbon flowers. I absolutely love this

old photo.
