It’s cold & blustery today. It reminds me of that Winnie the Pooh episode. I expect to see Piglet and his scarf fly by my window at any moment:)
We’ve been working on a few projects recently. A commission quilt for one of Paige’s friends, which I hope to show off soon and a couple of other things in the works. Recently, I found this back issue of American Patchwork & Quilting that had a cute purse made from tea towels in it and we really wanted to try it out.
We were just dying to use Sandi Henderson’s Secret Garden, so we made a little adjustment for fat quarters and went for it.
It has divided pockets on each side and these big wooden handles, which I love.
All that’s left now is to find the perfect embellishment for the front and Paige will have a stylish new bag!

Any time I hear ‘blustery’, I also think of Winnie…it was one of my son’s first books :)
Cute bag! I have that issue of APQ bookmarked to that page…nice to see it these pretty prints.
I agree with ‘duff’, too!

I too love the bag! Which APQ was that? Maybe I can find it on Ebay. I would love to do a couple as Christmas gifts for my TOPS buddies. I enlarged the picture but still couldn’t quite read the date. Thank you!
