UR Priceless Day 1....

...and it is my day to share
my coin purse x 2.

First, thank you to our head cheerleader
Mme Samm at Sew We Quilt 
and to our hostess and cheerleader Katherine at
Sew Me Something Good
for all your hard work to make the UR Priceless blog hop happen!!

Second....let me tell you...I struggled with the first coin purse
broke the 8 wt DMC Perle cotton twice sewing the 
pouch to the frame....I changed to a beige
super strong thread they use to make seat belts.
yes....broke the needle,  snapped in half.
Frustrated...I told myself...make ONE, and your done...but
if you know me at all, I never buy just one of anything
yes I bought 3 purse frames!!

Here is my first coin purse and...I am pretty happy with it.
Luv the little hand made teddy bear....
a teddy bear artist with patience!! 
I decided to practiced patience...
and make another one....
it went together much better, faster too
but no seat belt thread in black...
I used the 8 wt Finca Perle cotton...worked great.
I luv this one too....
I will be making more of these little beauties.
I have more purse frames on order...
I'm looking forward to making more.

You will find lots of cute little coin purses
by visiting all the bloggers 
scheduled for November 5

to see the top picks of the day.

Mme Samm has a Pintrest board for each of the blog hops...

A little piece of me went to Quilt Market....

I was thrilled when asked if I would sew a quilt for
Amanda Murphy for International Quilt Market.
The fabric is Bella designed by Amanda Murphy for Blend Fabrics.
Before shipping the quilt to Amanda I took a few pictures.
It was hard to box it up and send it away...
...it was sEw pretty!


See the bottom right hand corner of the quilt...
...a pink binding fabric for the 
quilt front and the green fabric to match the quilt back.
It was the perfect quilt to make the 2 fabric binding.


The quilt went together beautifully and
I would love to make this quilt again!
Amanda has 4 new patterns featuring her new fabric...Bella.
