Matching Bag
If this bag looks familiar it's because it was made in the same image as this one I'd made for Grace, but with a different color palette. It went to one of her sweet pals who had a birthday last week. (She sometimes peeks at my blog so I couldn't show it off until now without spoiling the surprise.) I used all the same details, including rick-rack and another of those fabulous buttons 
from LK. I had a bit of fabric left and made a matching tissue holder too. She really loved it, and that made me so happy!
What a lovely gift.Your bags are so pretty :)

Gorgeous! May I ask what you use as an interfacing? The bags have great body and shape to them. Do you use something as thick as timtex or just a very stiff interfacing? I've used fusible fleece on bags that I quilted, but am not sure it would hold up without the quilting. Wondering if you interfaced between those twill tape handles as well. Again, job well done!

Love the bag - LOVE IT! Those Amy Butler coordinating fabrics are just lovely. Will you share? What is that braided stuff you use for the button strap? And what do you use for the handles?

Oh, it's beautiful. I especially like the flower fabric.
So over on your flickr you have some garden photos -- where is that? Where is the bridge?
Oh, and -- I would LOVE to have you come over and brainstorm with me about our garden. It is a mess and I feel completely overwhelmed. Just to have somebody to talk to I think would help a lot.
