There is nothing like a deadline to help light a fire under my "you know what" : )
I received a F8 bundle of Riley Blake fabric for a quilt challenge sponsored by the Modern Quilt Guild. I was having a hard time coming up with an idea, but then, one week before it's due date I sketched up a handbag.
I love the way it turned out! I added leather handles and a self fabric covered button with the cute telephone motif and a self fabric loop closure! The telephone fabric is Riley Blake Doohikey designs which came from my stash. It works so well with the Riley Blake Challenge bundle and is such a fun fabric - perfect for fussy cutting!
The other side is a different color chevron - yellow and turquoise- since I ran out of the orange and grey fabric. I think it is fun that each side has its own personality!
Have a lovely day!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet bag! I love the shape!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog after seeing your adorable paper pieced apron pattern at Stitchery Dickory Dock. I love your blog and hopefully I will be a fan of paper piecing some day soon. Your bag is awesome - can't go wrong with chevrons!
