Judy’s Oriental Handbag

So excited to be able to share your wonderful designs for all to see.  I am submitting my “variation” of your Chinese Handbag.  As I wanted a larger tote style bag, I adapted these designs for a tote that was my own pattern.  I actually used batting under the designs and really like the look.  The layout was slightly different to get the effect I wanted and used this design for the large front pocket.  I also used a combination of folding the fabric back on one side but left the other one open flat in order to sew the inside parts together.  The pocket has a magnetic snap as does the tote itself.  I used a medium weight linen for the main sections with additional padding between the tote and the lining.  The lining is a batik cotton.  There are 5 sections within the bag, which don’t show up too well in the photo.  The embroidery thread is poly.  The only thing I would do different is add an inside zipper!  Judy

I love what you did with it!!!!  It’s so much fun for me to see where designs can go and become…Suz

Donna’s Art Quilt

Here is my entry. Hope the pictures come out OK. This one is similar to the sample you made, I just added to it a little.  I used silks, satins and velvets in shades of whites, golds and purples for the fabrics.  I used a medium weight cutaway stabilizer on the bottom and when embroidering over velvet, I added a heat away topping.  I also added a 3D lace butterfly, dragonfly and flowers. I went through my mothers old jewelry chest and used old pins to embellish along with beads and buttons. Also, for the eye of the cat, I used  a green teardrop hot fix crystal.  I added a few freebies (including the cat) that I had collected along the way. Donna

Great colors Donna! (and I love the Cat  LOL  )  Suz

Sandy’s Quilt

This quilt is made from Vickie’s quilt pattern and the designs from the 10,000 member set. It was so much fun to make since borrowed a friends embroidery machine and did the large size of the designs. As you can tell I love the bright colors. I started out with all the colors in a print I had and thought that would be the border but I should know better by now and never decide on a border until I am done as this one spoke to me instead.

Phyllis’s Japanese Garden Art Quilt

Here is my quilting contest entry. I used design BFC 1032 Japanese Fantasy Garden Art Quilt. I did alter the size of a few of the designs. I added a bridge I put together to go over the water. I used aquarium gravel for my rocks and small beads for my flowers. My effort does not do the design justice – but it is what it is.

This was my first attempt at top quilting. I did find out that it does not work well with your embroidery foot. LOL

Jane’s Hummingbird and Hibiscus Handbag

Attached are 3 pictures of My Hummingbird and Hibiscus Purse. I really had fun making it and I didn’t realize that there was a contest on until after I finished it two days ago. I was really happy to see that the flower  came out so realistic.  I used a canvas fabric for the purse body  and the lining is a red mixed fabric.(I cant think of the name of the fabric at the moment)  My name is  Jane   Thank You

‘s Wild Rose Handbag

I made this for my Mum’s birthday as she loves all feminine things that are peachy/rose in colour. The bag fabric is a cream curtain-weight polyester, though gives the look of slubbed silk as the colours move with the light. It is lined with a range of pinks and florals from my stash that coordinate with the embroidery.

Great idea about using the various fabrics for the lining!  That can add a lot of interest in the bag itself – make it more special!  Suz
