Feast or Famine

Not much for a year and then here I am. Ill try to post freqently.
This is my first attempt at a hand bag or envelope purse. I learned that you really need to plan your laying down of fabric if the flap is tapered. But I am still please with the look of the purse in general I hope to sell it at a craft shop locally.

I just love the star flowers. I found the pattern in an old crochett book and just fell in love.

Denim reloved Round Robin

My work on Kerry's block proved difficult as the denim was zigzaged on going over the seam with each colour of thread frayed the zigzaging. Other seams were very thick at times but the results were worth the effort.
This was my first rr block. The ladies in the 3quiltketeer group did a fantastic job. My instructions were please use my favorite crayola colours and I just feel happy every time I see it. I don't have a digital camera so I cant get it all in one shot.
I always wanted to try a tree but was a little worried about how it may turn out. Catharine's Tree will be a great reference.
This is some more lovely work from the other rr ladies.
