Pink Cellphone Pouch

I mentioned the other day that my aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  Of course, you never have to ask me twice to make something in pink!  Ya'll know it's my favorite color!  Anyway, I finished it up early this morning.  I mean very early!  Thanks to some very rude people who were shooting off fireworks at 2:00 a.m. this morning!

Anyway, here's the stitched piece:

The cameo is carved Mother Of Pearl.  It's really pretty!  I did a lot of ribbon roses on here with my hand dyed silk ribbon.  The flowers on the bottom left are just shank buttons with French Knots worked in 7MM silk ribbon going around the buttons.

I have several birthdays coming up so I'm working on a few gifts.  When I have a couple of them done, I'll sew this up along with the others and I'll share another photo.

Finished Stitching Purse

I finished up the stitching on this crazy quilt purse early this morning:

I promised Kathleen that I show close ups of the silk ribbon roses.  These are not my "twist & tack" roses.  These are all worked with a few Japanese ribbon stitches and a French knot.

This purse will have a rounded bottom but like the pink I did last week:

I'll probably use lace around the outside of the rose lady purse rather than the crocheted trim that I did on this one.
