Something Old, Something New


One of the things that appeals to me about quilting is the taking of something old and turning it into something new. I'm currently on a mission to finish the old works in progress to clean/organize my studio.

Some time back I had quilted some fabric to make 18" pillows for a family member. There was two 18" squares left over. One square I turned into a fabric bowl. That left this orphan square that has been bouncing around for the last two years, until two weeks ago.

I'm toying with a"concept" or maybe theme would be a better word to design a line of handbags. Well, one thing lead to another with result being that the 18" square became some small pyramid shaped coin purses. These might make some cute stocking stuffers.
