A summer bag

I made it from the fabrics I bought last week.

How I wish to match it with a skirt or a pair of pants made from the same fabric. But I don’t have enough patience to sew a skirt ( I have patience to cut batting away for 2 weeks but not to sew a skirt for a few hours ).
Since I discovered quilting I hate to sew clothes. But this is a good thing, where I could store so many clothes ? My house is full of quilts !

Do you see ? This is a new pattern, I made for the first time the bottom and the sides of the bag from different fabrics ( a little more work…).

I am so proud that I finally made this type of handles (I love them !):


Have a nice weekend ! I count the days left until we will see Depeche Mode in concert. Just three weeks away…

  1. Another gorgeous purse. They just seem to flow effortlessly from you! I feel the same about quilting vs. “sewing”. I hate to sew clothing and my patience is so only available for quilting projects.

  2. I have just started to follow your wonderful blog!
    Your bags are just delicious 🙂
    I also love your shadow trapunto quilts—I have done trapunto but not shadow—–I must have a try :-0

  3. Geta, fa-ti o pereche de pantaloni! E aproape la fel de usor ca un quilt shadow trapunto 🙂 Si chiar ca ar merge grozav cu geanta, care e mortala!!!
    Vad ca nu mai scrii in romana dar noi readerii localnici nu te abandonam;-)
    Te pup.

  4. Your work is inspirational!!! I read what you wrote about yourself and I can’t believe you learned this all by your self.

    Could you share how to make the nice two colored handles on this purse. I have never seen them before and they are great.
