Debbie Middaugh Duncan contacted me about making a purse from somefeedsack fabric I had ... 'why, of course, it will make a lovely purse, Deb'.
So off to New Mexico flew the pretty piece. This is what she created from it. The pattern is a Harmony pattern off the internet & has 20 pieces to cut & sew. Deb said it was a huge challenge & not an easy creation from the pattern. (Deb is my first cousin on my paternal side of my family).
Thank you Deb, for sharing ... great job. You'll look pretty snappy running around with this pretty purse.
Here I am going thru more arrivals. Can you tell I LOVE, LOVE these pretties!
Join me in welcoming a new blog friend, ladies.

ReplyDeleteI love the purse. Debbie did a beautiful job creating it. Did she make you a purse too? Mine red please. Ha! Ha!
I love the picture of you working with your feedsack. It is a beautiful picture. I notice you are holding green for you and red ofcourse for me. How very sweet of you.
Looks like you have been a very busy girl today. Please remember to rest also. Your body is very tired still. Don't push so much.
Still raining here. Love it. Smells so clean. At least I don't have to work out in it, so I can enjoy it through the door.
Have a beautiful evening, and know that you my sweetie, are so VERY loved. All my love forever and always, Sherry/Cherry Jelly

Hi Marydon! Finding your welcoming post this evening for Dimples & Dragonflies, truly made my day! I've been so very touched by your generosity and kindness. Your feedsacks (love the name) are stunning. I recall you mentioning your recent surgery..it was so good seeing you up and about in your studio. That's my special place too. I'll be popping in often to see how you're doing. Thank you again for all you've done to help introduce me to the blogging community. May blessings, peace and sunshine always be with you, Terri

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.........I'm wondering.....My daughter went to school with a girl named Debbie Middaugh....could it possibly be one in the same? She would be about 38-39 or so?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Spencer

My, Oh, My...What glorious fabrics!
You must be in feedsack heaven right now. :-)
I'm afraid I don't come across them near as often as I would like, here in Southern Ohio. I usually have to go on a road trip to build my collection.
Thanks for sharing your bounty. LOL
