New item-Starburst Purse

Here's my newest creation - the Starburst Purse. I did not start this project with this end in mind. Since I got my new bag (see previous post), I have put all kinds of things in it. I had a ziploc baggie with pens, business cards, a tape measure, and deposit slips. But a ziploc baggie just doesn't look right for a person who can make neat things. So a few weeks ago I came across this new stitch called a star pattern. It actually came with a video too! So I played with it and made a bag to replace my ziploc baggie (Susan you know I love my bags!). As I was showing it to a friend, she suggested putting a strap on it. I don't need that for my bag, but thought I could make this a new item for my collection. And here it is!

This one is available now for $15, no shipping. I can make them in any color - solid, verigated (like this), or stripes. I love it! Let me know what you think and who I can send one to. This would make a great gift for your teenager or your college student.

I feel so official!

My friend Darla is so good to me. Her husband and oldest daughter do screen-printing on the side and she offered to have them do a few bags and a shirt for me. I gave them to her in December and I think they had a holiday season like I did - not enough time to get everything done!! But I am so glad they did this for me. It has turned out great!! Tell me what you think....

I am thrilled! I feel more official than I did when I got my business cards. Now when I carry a project with me I am advertising too! And since I am not an aggressive saleswoman this will help me get orders.
Look for new pictures coming in the next few weeks. I am working on my newest project, a t-shirt quilt. Get your t-shirts together and let me know when you would like me to start on yours!!!
