I have a new job....... I am working with the census. This means I am out everyday going from house to house. I have been so tired.... I just come in shower and go to bed. I did make some new quilted handbags though.
While my sister-in-law CeCe was visiting I managed to make time to get a quilted handbag made for each of her daughters for her to take back to Oregon. They loved them! Have a look....
This one is
Melissa's...
she likes
daisies,
brights, and
funky retro
Jenny prefers
greens and
serenes
This little beauty is mine... all mine!
It is really pretty...... used Blush by Moda to make quilted diamond blocks for the top row..... then used a pretty coordinating pink paisley to make a row of puffing for the middle row....... followed up by Blush again quilted in a catywampus block for the bottom row....... the bottom of the bag and handles are done in a bright turquoisy confetti. I lined it with a turquoise paisley of pinky lavender...... finishing up with a zipper closure with pink, blue, and yellow tassles.
I like it! What do you think?
Eight of us girls (Angela , Amanda, Sherry, Melanie, Teresa, Lynn, Norma, and Me) went to New Orleans last weekend for a Girlfriend's Retreat. No husbands... No kids... well, except for Sherry, since Angela and Amanda are her adult twin daughters..... but no grandchildren. We had a blast! Stayed in a bed and breakfast....... we ate....... we walked...... we shopped...... we ate.... we walked..... we shopped..... you get the idea =]
