Pretty Little Purses

Today I am a guest blogger at Stash Manicure, I posted my tutorial for making fabric boxes. Please visit SM to find out many quilting stories.

Here are my latest projects - a few mini-Amelie purses for the little girls of my friends.

I thought it will take me much time to finish them because all are quilted but I managed to sew four in a day. The small size (about 7''x9'') helped me a lot!

Which one I love most ?

I love, love these fabrics...

but this one below is my favorite! I had just a small piece of pink fabric and I didn't want to waste it so I pieced the front bag.

Are you still busy making Christmas gifts ? Happy sewing!

Hi Geta I have found you through maddam sam with your wonderfull boxes ,when I saw them I was so pleased because it has been on my mind for a long time and have been wanting to make,you see when I was a little girl a family friend used to make these using christmas cards she would cut them in hexegon shapes like you also have made and she would sew them my hand around the edges with with thread,and she would give them for gifts at christmas my mom used them it place her sewing notions inside,I read about your story how you discovered the wonderfull world of quilting and I can identify with you for I live in Greece and quilting is just like in Rumania unknown I also used carboard square and traced around the fabric and cut it out with scissors,that was back in 1994 and I didn't have a computer then I actually discoverd blogging 8 months ago I can write on and on but must go now I love all of your work and you are truelly an artistic quilter I admire your passion ,visit me when you have a chance,xoxo theodora
