The Enchanting Blue Bag

]]> I’ve been watching my daughter finish a project she started before she became very ill in April.  Her quilting and fabric art is helping speed her recovery, and she’s starting new projects and finishing older ones.  She’s also back to blogging at Meandering Threads. 

I’ve watched the progress of the Enchanting Blue Bag or Purse and find it a lovely piece of art…almost too nice to use.  Beth posted photos of it on her blog…in progress and finished.  Even those don’t give you the exquisite detail.

Enjoy!

Quilting & Patchwork Wants to Know…Do You Carry Quilting Supplies in Your Purse?

]]> QuiltingAndPatchwork.com

 Deborah Ng at The List Mavin, had a fun idea the other day, What’s in Our Purses?  She asked various bloggers to send her photos of what they carried in their purses.  Others left comments.

I began wondering…do quilters carry quilting supplies in their purses…or tote bags?

Since I carry a black leather fanny pack all the time…not stylish, but very useful since I do a lot of flying (not flapping wings, but on planes), I don’t have much space for quilting supplies.  It’s a waste of time to change everything over to a traditional purse between trips, and I can sling this over my shoulder when it’s not around my waist.

However, my hubby says I carry more in those three zipper compartments than anyone he knows…date book, lip balm, lipstick, loose change, business cards…mine and those I collect, checkbook, credit card/license/medical card holder, grandchildren’s photos (of course!), cell phone, notepad for jotting down writing and quilting ideas and “to do” memos, 2 pens (one might not work), paper clips, vitamins, and receipts.

Also, I might squeeze in a sample of fabric I want to match…or a couple of those pieces from my mom’s Wedding Quilt I’m trying to find fabric for.  Of course, some of the business cards I collect are from quilters/fabric artists/quilt shops.

I do have a denim patchwork tote my daughter made me.  So when I want to take some quilting work with me, a quilting magazine or Elm Creek Quilters novel, that seems the appropriate one sling over my shoulder along.  I also can squeeze in a water bottle, food bar, pens and note pad.

Do you carry quilting supplies in your purse?
