Liberty Garden

Well, I finally decided to pull out this old BOM from Jan Patek, several years old and put the squares together. I need to add the borders, it's fused applique which I never do and the edges are hand stitched with a tiny whip stitch. Now that I see it this far along, I don't know why I never completed it back when.

A PURSE AND A BEAR OF COURSE

I made this purse for one of my pedi docs, she wanted me to duplicate a little purse she had been carrying for years with brighter colors, so I made this one for her birthday next week. Hope you can see the big dragon fly button a friend gave me. Amy Butler fabrics with a stripe brush cotton for contrast. I seem to be making more purses than quilts lately.

And of course, my bear, he's hot this day. Hope he's staying out of trouble, haven't seen him for several days now, hope he's gone to the higher elevations where it's cool and away from people's houses.
