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:

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