Thanks to Bevintex for her inspiring purses (to be found at OREGON PATCHWORK) with the little flowers on them. I bought the pattern on Friday and tried one yesterday, but misread the instructions and stuffed it up. I wrote to Bev explaining that I'd done something wrong. So this afternoon after being out with Mum I sat down and did another one realising where I had made my mistake. I wrote to Bev and told her my mistake and that I'd post my black and white purse. Here it is, I've been a bit pre-occupied watching Outlander - what a great series. Love Chris






P.S. I must admit, like Teresa (queenofhearts) I too would prefer the zip to be placed lower down. By the way, I didn't put a pull tag on mine. Made in the 5x7 hoop.

AHAH! I can see it more betterer now!!! :-)

It looks interesting but, you know me, I dislike in the hoop designs..... they always seem way too complicated for my brain to wrap around them when there is nothing I can't make in the old fashioned way.

I love your colour choices and I do love stipple!!!

BTW.... I too, thought Bev must have created it, by your comments in above post, (silly me), you just wanted some input on making them. :-)

Thanks Meg and I love making in the hoop things. Yes, I was just thanking Bev for the inspiration to make these purses. Hope you had a good night bowling. Chat to you later. Love Chris

Love the different colors. So glad you made it too.
Glad you told the owner I was not sure how to get a hold of her. I wanted her to know how much fun we were al having with this. She did a great job. Which size did you do?

Chris is talking about the bags I made, I am in no way the owner and make no claims on this design, just another cutie showing my project

Hi mgregg01, yes Bev is right I bought the pattern from OPW and I do not know who the digitiser is that did this bag. I was so inspired by all the bags Bev made and that is why I bought the design. The people who have made these are all doing a grand job. Love Chris

Love this Chris and the colors. I wonder what my husband would do to me if I bought another design. He always talks loudly and gives me the riot over a purchase.

Ohhh! I like your colors. I especially like your placement of the top petal fabric. Well you did well on all the placements, very nicely centered. This would look very nice in my purse.
