NEW BAGS ON THIS LAST DAY OF MARCH '09


Another month comes to a close and I haven't posted the last few pair of bags (gave them away too quickly, then realized hadn't taken photos). :*(


I made this pair for a friends mother (who is a minister). Was excited to find the cotton (titled: A Wing and a Prayer) for the outside and used a deep burgundy broadcloth for lining. The print has small crosses, bibles, doves & scrolls and was a nice weight cotton to work with.
I am pleased as they turned out very pretty and I'm certain no other clergy will carry the same bags!


Happy Springtime Everyone and I'll try to keep my memory in check to 'post' before dispersing the next sets of bags.

Marching Into March....More Bags







Springtime is near and the skies are showing more blue. Hooray to feel the warm sunshine and anxiously wait for green leaves & blossoms on the trees.






I was excited to find the bright melon print and paired it with a lettuce green (lining) for a spring-like set of shopping bags. My heart tells me to keep these two for myself. The pretty colors are cheery & they will be fun for shopping at the farmers market which will open soon. Another reason to say 'hooray for spring'!






Today I finished the pretty pink flower/chocolate/white stripe set with burgundy lining and am pleased with this color combo.






Now back to the cutting board.






Enjoy getting back onto daylite saving time and will post again soon.






Cheers!
