I posted in December about a present I was working on. Even though it still hasn't been given, I am pretty sure she isn't reading my blog. So I am posting a picture of it.
This is the purse the Nana requested for her birthday. The square that is set in on point was made of some thin strips of fabric in rich jewel tones. I added some batik strips above and below the square and then used the same batik to trim the top edge and add an accent stripe on the back.
The picture shows front and back. They are actually the same color, but my camera didn't quite cooperate with the color tones. Oh well! The front is closer to the actual color of the base fabric and also on the batik.
This has a really long strap as she requested. I added an adjuster so she can shorten the strap if desired. There are two pockets inside. One is perfect for a cell phone and the other is much larger. I hope she likes it.
In other news, I got the Royal treatment today. This lovely package arrived in the mail from the United Kingdom.
Inside this package was a pair of wall hangings from Annette and Rebecca over at Reb and Nets quilts
And here is the picture of the contents. Welcome to my home little Chickadees.
