My July in fabric

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!

  10. Nicky. 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.
