This blog hop is sponsored by the wonderful folks at Andover Fabrics and blogger extraordinaire Madame Samm at !Sew WE Quilt!
WELCOME! to Day 5 of the UR Priceless bloghop - Cheerleader Katherine is our PRICELESS blog coordinator and has the full schedule over on her blog.
Little did I suspect that this blog hop would coincide with my cataract surgery...but I did get four of my purses finished...
Today is my day to share pictures of the UR Priceless coin purses sew here they are!
This purse frame came from I have a Notion.. IHAN, for short!
Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks this 'loose change' fabric makes a great little purse!
The frame for this version came from LACI's of Berkeley, CA: (search for 3" purse frame in their search box)
I used jeans thread to sew them to the frames - worked great!
My 'third' purse is on a frame that I bought at JoAnn's - under the Mary Englebreit brand:
This was made from scraps left over from a purse (The Quattro by StudioKat Designs) that I love!
The fabrics are from a line by Lonni Rossi - another of the fantastic Andover fabric designers! I had saved every tiny scrap... love has no limits in my stash!
...and you can purchase the coin purse pattern from Madame Samm here.
(My camera is starting to go color blind.... keeping fingers crossed!)
The Quattro bag with my UR Priceless Purse.
Don't they look lovely together?
My 'fourth' purse is on another frame that I bought at LACI's - this
gorgeous Lonni Rossi hand painted/printed/stamped red silk was all wadded up in a scrap bag - with other silk scraps from Lonni Rossi's shop. She had made a couple of small lamp shades from it... I got what was left... very gratefully! Been hoarding protecting it for years.
Silk is wonderful to work with - but I didn't notice the 'frown' until I loaded this pic! Kinda looks like a puppet! What do you think?
Sew, what to do with the extra beads? Earrings, of course! Do you like the royal purple lining?
The sunset last night was glorious, so I thought I would share that with you, too, just in case you are being snowed in...
I hope you like my little purses!
Now - after you leave me a little word of encouragement.... go enjoy the little UR Priceless Purses by these other bloggers on today's list:
Day 5 - Nov. 9th

| This one is made from home dec samples. Each sample piece was just big enough for one pattern piece! |

I'm not being snowed in, but your sunset is gorgeous. All the coin purses are so cute, but the one with coin fabric is so appropriate! I think the red one is my favorite, though.
ReplyDeleteLove the beadwork!!!! I also love the matching bag and coin purse.......very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteSimpley beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll of them are wonderful. I noticed your different hand stitching on the green one. I love it and adding beads is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Yes, I think the one puppet looks like a frog...a mean frog. But the fabric is so opulent! What a switch :O)
ReplyDeleteLovely purses! Thanks for the link for the frames!
ReplyDeletegreat job!!! Love them.
ReplyDeleteThe frowny face reminds me of that crazed bird..and I cant place where he is from right now.. But I love surprises like this!
ReplyDeleteoops... you should turn off word verification...
done... did that last week, but BLOGGER must have 'reset' it for me.

ReplyDeletePretty fabrics that you used! was the sil hard to work with? Love them!

@ Abbigail - no, not hard at all, but this is a heavy silk... more like shantung. Some of the very limp silks are more challenging - just use lightweight iron on stabilizer and they are easy as cotton.
DeleteI do try to stay with the heavier kinds.
Your little purses are so pretty! Wow, you did a great job in spite of your surgery!!!
ReplyDeleteEach one a cutie... but the beauty is the one with your Quattro purse.
ReplyDeleteA puppet... no! It looks like "Rango." Remember?
Johnny Depp animation/adventure/comedy ~ a chameleon!
that's it! I knew I'd seen that face before! Rango in red silk, indeed!
Deletep.s. ~ I'm a new follower, too.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your classic designs - very creative and inspiring. Judy C

ReplyDeleteOh I just love all your purses... especially the silk one. I had bought some silk to make a coin purse but then couldn't find just the right lining fabric, but it's on my list for future purses.

ReplyDeleteI do love both of your little purses. "I had saved every tiny scrap... love has no limits in my stash!" was such a neat sentence. I have folder where I add inspirational quotes and that one is going in there; I LOVE it! The first purse was a must to go with the SK purse. My fav is the silk one; I still can't see a frown?? BTW, you do have a really cute bottom - on the orange silk purse!! lol

UR Priceless!
Your purses are gorgeous and so is that sunset!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that your hoarding (um, I mean, protecting) of the fabric was put to such a wonderful use! :o) Pretty and I LOVE how you sewed the scalloped frame with the stitches going up and down instead of from each hole!
ReplyDeleteBlessings & Aloha!
