New Book Covers - small and large

I made these book covers with composite notebooks and smaller nice notebooks for people like me sho love to have a notebook on hand to create, make lists, take notes and draw ideas. I put a pencil holder on the side to help keep the book closed.

Sometimes I work in shifts where I only think of color, texture & shape of the bag. There are days where all I do is design the focal point of a future handbag. Lately I have been really enjoying using different colors that I normally won't use. Or sometimes I say to my family pick a fabric or pick a color combination. It's kind of like a challenge. One thing that has taught me is that I can work outisde my limits of what I think would be beautiful and the project usually turns out great! It is better yet when it sells.

New Designs for November

Handbag of reds & browns

I'm having fun with this new machine quilting designs that I started using. There are just wavy lines moving vertically on the handbag. With the vertical lines on the flap this is very pleasing to the eye. I added a metalic cording on the seams by couching it down with a zig zag stitch.

Brown Tote just in time for fall...

I am creating dark color handbags for the fall and winter season. This particular handbag is also for sale at The Patricia Shoppe in Whitefish Bay. You need to stop in and check out all of the wonderful clothes and accessories Britton carries. Not only is it a cute store, but Britton a nice to work with.
