GIFT FOR A FRIEND

My friend was going on a cruise and was going to buy a new make up bag . I decided I would make one for her in her favourite colour. I knew the style I wanted but had no pattern so I looked up on the internet "Zippered Make up Bag".
This is what I found but no pattern so I watched the Utube  and drew up my own pattern.
I was totally happy with the end product and so was my friend.
It  IS pretty and the only hitch was I have a drawer full of zippers but did not have a 28 inch one!!!! so I had to go buy one!
Murphy's Law I guess haha

Miniature Dresden

This was one of the last projects I finished.
It is a miniature Dresden plate and measures 6 inches square.
It is hand pieced , appliquéd, and quilted .
I added the tassel for  extra interest.
It is now in a private collection.
Oh dear!  Time sure has a way of sliding by!
I cannot believe it has been so long since I was here.
It has been a rough road for me and hubby too with ill health.
We are out of the woods somewhat and hopefully will find some energy to start posting again.
Thanks to my followers for hanging in.
I really appreciate it.
See you soon
Hugs
Maggie
