Hi Dottie Dodge
I am a follower of yours on pinterest. thanks

The frame was the most difficult part on the purse. You have to sew it by hand and I broke 4 needles while sewing it. I need to make 2 more for Christmas gifts thought I would take a break before the next one!

I found the handles at JoAnn's I used a coupon so they were around $3.50. Good luck!

I have a love hate relationship with Pinterest too. So many ideas so little time. Especially when you get lost on Pinterest. Check out my pages http://www.pinterest.com/dottie_dodge/

Sorry I don't know how to make it where you just click on it.

Yes Barb, I am using the swapped candy and I have started by making a bunch of 16 patches to use in the Arkansas Crossroads. I think I have enough put together, so now I need to do the "in between" blocks with the little points that come off the 16-patches. I need a big floor space to lay it all out on at this point. (I have no design wall!)

I am really loving the 16 patches I have made!

the 16 patches that you made ...for the arkansas crossroads is it the ones that you had put into colors??? Also the pattern that I found for the a.c. is not the same size so do you have a pattern for the points????

thanks
Barb
