Bags:
 
Joanne Watercolor Bag
Made with fabrics directly from Africa, this bag is a one of a kind beauty!  I have quilted all over in a feather stitch, and added long swinging brown and clear beading to the header.

Lena Quilted & Beaded Bag with African Fabrics
Amanda II Wonderland Quilted & Beaded Bag
I love this Wonderland fabric!  This is the first of several bags I am making with it. 
100 % cotton fabrics and batting were used in this bag with measures 12.5" x 14.5".
Comfortable to wear, charming, and practical, this one might very well become your summertime favorite.

Mae II Quilted and Beaded Patchwork Bag

Summertime bag made with Mary Engelbreit Friends and Flowers fabric collection will brighten any day.  I used nineteen different cotton fabrics from the collection, silver metal accents, black cording and beads on this backpack style bag.  The Mae II is lined in coordinating blue kona cotton. Three inside pockets will hold your keys, ipod, or cell phone.


Blue Jean Quilted Beaded Bag
Just right to wear out with your favorite blue jeans, the beaded quilted bag and the beach baby bag in soft faded blue batik cotton. 

Blue Jean Batik Beach Baby Bag
This beauty is named after my friend Kayren who graduates from nursing school this month.  Congratulations Kayren!

Batik spring green, azure blue, sunrise orange and yellow blend wonderfully in this quilted bag.  Green and clear beads trim the front.  It has three inside pockets to hold your essentials.

Tagalong Beaded and Zippered Bag
 A new style bag for me.  This one is wool felt.  I knit it of 100 % wool yarn, washed it in hot water to felt it, added a cotton lining, zipper closure, rolled wool felted shoulder strap, and finally, decorated the front with a needle felted butterfly.

My two most recent bags both remind me of the sun.  The one on the left, which I have named "Sunrise Over the Ocean" has sand colored beading and beautiful shades of orange and purple.  "Midnite Sun" is darker, with some black and a bit of gold fabric and wonderful purple and green beading.  Both have around twenty different batik 100% cotton fabrics and freemotion quilting.

Sweet and simple little bag, ready to grab and take wherever you are headed this fine spring morning.


Lined in cotton with three inside pockets to hold glasses, keys, whatever.


A second Leigh Bag, quilted with the same Kaffe Fassett collection as the first, but with pockets, and with lavender beading instead of blue.

Leigh Quilted Patchwork Bag with Blue Beading

The Leigh quilted bag is just right for starting the spring season off in style.  Sixteen different 100% cotton fabrics from the latest 2008 Kaffe Fassett line pulse with vibrant color for the warm weather ahead.
 

From Kaffe Fassett's 2008 collection pastel fabrics with names like celadon lichen, mint silhouette rose, and blue persimmon, this bag skips into spring.  Love those minty swinging beads.  Winter gloom has to flee when you go out with this purse on your shoulder.

Accessories:

New to my shops are these little coin purses.  I've made five so far.  Here are pictures of three of them.  I like the circle shape, and they are just the right size for coins, lipstick, or even a few bills.  Three different cotton fabrics are in each purse.  I've free motion quilted one side, and added velvet ribbon, paper braid, yoyo's, and buttons for zipper pulls.


Your music will go where you go.  I-Pod or MP3 player and ear buds are protected and travel comfortably in these simple clip-on carriers.  Quilted front flap, and 100 percent cotton fabric will make these totes a favorite with teens and the young-in-heart .  A swivel hook snaps onto jeans or purse handle. Totes are lined in same fabric, have a one button closure, and a pocket on the back to hold ear buds.  I can make this tote in the larger Imax size as a custom order.
