I'm in Love
August 17, 2012 Remember these from waaaay back in April?
Here's what I turned them into.
Is it normal to be in love with something you make? Don't answer that. I don't care. Because I.LOVE.THIS.PURSE!
I don't know how else to say it.
The colors ...
The hexagons & triangles ...
Little embroidered knots ...
And I love how the quilting on the base turned out.
You with me now? Am I pardoned for loving it?
Thanks.
Have a great weekend!

It's beautiful, and definitely easy to fall hard for that purse :)
What a beautiful purse. Great job!
You make the most wonderfully beautiful things but this purse is TOTALLY amazing! I liked that you had it hanging because that's what I'd do with it - just hang it on the wall as art. I just can't seem to put into words how impressed I am. Bravo!!
I need that purse! Please send it to me. ;p
This purse is so beautiful. I love it too.
Oh my goodness,thankfully I checked your blog before the long weekend I did not get my uaual announcement. I am awestruck! Like,you really made that gougeous purse? I am wiping the drool off the keyboard,and those little knots..awesome design and execution as always,but beyond!!!! It is beyond perfection!!!! Again,a pattern please!!!! You have a very special talent for making unforgettable things!!! This purse is way over the top more beautiful than anything I have ever seen, fabric selections are perfect!!! Applause and high fives from this corner!!!! Now I can drool all weekend!!!
I love that purse, too!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you are pardoned! ;oD Gorgeous workmanship - I love how you used the paper piecing and the french knots - it's so pretty!!
You have no need to be pardoned for making such a beautiful purse and you should be proud of your accomplishments. We do, however, have a right to be a little jealous of your talents, but just a little bit, after all, it really is a stunning purse. May I post it on pinterest in my handbag section/? If not it is OK.
Wow! Your purse is absolutely beautiful. I have always been too scared to make anything with hexagons because I thought it was too hard, but I saw a demonstration at a craft show last week and realised it wasn't that hard so I bought some stuff to do it. I would love this bag to be my first hexagon project. Can I buy the pattern anywhere? Thanks for showing us!
My jaw literally dropped when I saw the purse. That's definitely a pretty in pink by hand" type of purse!!!! It's so hard to find purses that I like, and they are always so flimsily made and too expensive! I need to set aside some time to make one similar to that! Pattern, please.... purty paaaaahweeeeze?! ;-)
Oh I'm def in love with it too, irressitable!!!!!

It's gorgeous and who wouldn't love it!!
You keep doing it, don't you? You keep proving that you really are the queen of the sexy rock-star quilting chicks! That purse is absolutely awesome!
WOW! Absoluetly gorgeous. Please, tell us where you got the pattern or if you're going to put out the pattern.
That is gorgeous!! Love your creativity!! Is this a pattern?
Ditto what everyone else said! You are pardoned. What a thing of beauty! Brava!
I know everyone has said it, but I also think this purse is gorgeous, beautiful work you do.
Exquisite!
How did you sew the triangles to the hexies? Will there be a little tutorial coming? Because this is fantastic!!!
What pattern did you use? I love it!
Looooove it!! (said in high screechy oh so jealous voice!)
This is a fabulous purse! I am wanting it too, like many of the other women posting comments! Keep us the great work.
LOVE this purse and like others would like a pattern focus or a tutorial on how to do this awesome purse... makes me sad I paid for a Vera Bradley now... to think such a nice thing could be made is very PRETTY BY HAND! Kathi
It's been so long since I popped by to see what you have been creating and LOOK!!! That purse is so gorgeous and so beautifully made! As always, I feel totally useless by comparison! You are a genius xxx
This is absolutely beautiful! And, pink too. My favorite.
