Purse Entry

Recently I decided to enter a purse in a contest sponsered by Nancy's Notions. I completed this purse this past week and entered it into the contest. The purse had to be constucted from an specific pattern package. I choose to create my own crazy patch "butterfly" using Masterworks to digitalize it. It came out better than shown in this picture. I also quilted the fabric around the butterfly with a little flower design created from Masterworks. The handle loops are also stitched down with an appliqued flower that is 3 D and created in Masterworks than stittched down. I can't wait to see how I do in the contest.

Modified Miranda Day Bag

Here is the completed Miranda Day Bag that I finished today and started last weekend in a sewing and embroidery retreat. It is a little larger than what I am use to and has pently of great pockets. The embroidery design is on both sides and the bag is quilted. The flowers are dimensional. I modified the bag by adding a zipper.
