July for me was all about purses! Having been taught how to make a frame purse by the truly lovely Katy Jones at Fat Quarterly Retreat I was keen to make more! So after a chat with my lovely friend Helen we launched the In the Frame Purse Swap!
I was swap mama for the first time - but I couldn't have even thought about it without the support and help of the truly wonderful Helen and Archie of course!
We had a swap button created by the lovely and compu-brilliant Laura Jane!
Thank you Laura!
Then I was so surprised and pleased that so many friends wanted to join in - thank you every single one of you who did! And we had a few lovely girls I didn't know but want to know better! For some of you it was your first purse and I truly take my hat off to you all rising to the challenge! All of the purses are wonderful and so diverse - if you want to see just take a look here! I am so proud of each and every one so now I understand why the host is called a mama! Didn't our bebes do well!???
So after all that blurb here is my purse mosaic
The middle one has been shipped off to my partner and I'm just waiting to find out if she likes it!
I am of course linking up to Lynne at Fresh Sewing Day!

ReplyDeleteYou and Helen did great - thank you xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much to you and Helen for this wonderful swap. I'm going to miss it as it made me feel so much closer to the bloggers I love!
ReplyDeleteWell done Mama! A great month for purses! Jxo
ReplyDeleteYour purse swap was a triumph.
ReplyDeletelove them all! You are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOf course they will love it, it is gorgeous! Sadly, I suspect it is someone elses, as I got from you last time! but they will totally love it!
ReplyDeleteYou sure went purse crazy, loving all the purses you made! They do look very cool to make though...I may have to try out a few one day =D
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun seeing what everyone made for the swap. :) Thanks for hosting this and gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteNicky. Yourself and Helen did a wonderful job. I was so happy that you electronically kicked my butt into learning how to do a frame purse, and what a job everyone did. There are some really cracking ones out there and I really love your final purse.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very snappy month for you missus, well done all round!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mosaic! When are you taking orders ;o) ?
ReplyDeleteLovely purses! So glad the swap went well. Maybe I will join in next time :)
