Keepsake purse

I have ended up with a lot of my mother's things and finding homes for some of them has been a bit of a challenge. I thought one of my nieces would appreciate a pair of her rosary beads as a memento of her grandmother. However, I then decided that it would be nice to make a little purse to store them in. A year or so later, I've finally made the purse - it's machine quilted using one of the built-in stitches on my new machine. I'll post them off on Monday - I hope my niece likes it.

Triangular purses

We went to a wedding in Sydney on Saturday - one of my many nieces. We gave the young couple a monetary gift, which I put into this purse. I found the pattern at http://www.livingcreatively.com.au/projects/create_now_project.php?v=69


It didn't take long to make the purse, although it's a bit fiddly. I then made a couple more. I'll give one to another niece for her birthday and I'm sure the other will find a home one day. I might even keep it myself as a coin purse.
