Bag contest entries.....
I made 2 bags to enter in the 5th Annual Fall 2010 Hand Bag Contest at Old Trail Fabric's in Selinsgrove. The rules allow for submitting 3 bags, but my 3rd bag isn't finished yet.
The striped one is a shoulder bag/purse, with a snap closure. The ribbons can be untied to allow the bag to expand.
Lots of pockets inside, 3 slip and 1 zippered....
The purple 'retro' fabric bag is a super-sized tote with rick-rack trim. Big enough for a weekend away....oh how I wish :)
Also with 2 slip pockets and a divider....
The contest ends Saturday, so I'm dropping mine off tomorrow.
Wish me luck!

A Quilt for "Grandma"
My best friend is going to be a Grandma soon. I just had to make her a quilt 'cause that's how I celebrate! :)
This is an extra special quilt, it is made from the scraps of the signature quilt I made for her daughter and son-in-law's (the soon-to-be parents) wedding. The original quilt patches were signed as a guest book and then assembled into a memory quilt. So this new quilt commerates the marriage and the new baby!
(The wedding guest book, memory quilt.)
Thanks for stopping by!
