Crazy Quilt Supplies

I've been busy working on my Crazy Quilt Resources list.  I added a few more crazy quilters to the list of artists and I started on the Crazy Quilt Supplies list.  If there are any artists that I missed or any CQ supply sites that you order from or would like me to include, drop me an email and I'll add them later this week.

I still have a lot of things to add so I'm just doing it a little bit at a time.

This morning, I sewed up my Halloween Pillow so I'll do the hand finishing on that later today.  For now, I've been stitching on this Crazy Quilt Christmas Purse:

I'm going to have to run up to JoAnn's for some purse handles for this one. I don't think I have any extras in my stash now.

Crazy Quilt Christmas Purse

I just finished sewing my Crazy Quilt Christmas Purse together.  All that's left to do is to sew the snap on:

I have a friend coming next week who asked me if she could see this one.  These are even prettier in person than they are in photos.  Hard as I try, the camera just doesn't capture the texture and sparkle of my bags.

If you haven't been following my progress on this purse, the poinsettia fabric at the top is from a vintage hankie that I bought at a flea market earlier this year.  All the various lace pieces are either antique or vintage.  I used a lot of pretty Kreinik metallic thread because Christmas is all about the sparkle.   And heaven knows, all that glitters is gold to me!

I'll leave you today with a cute cat picture!  Cotton and Wrigley laying in my white wicker rocking chair together:
