I've found a soulmate. Thanks for the scoop. I guess that I am in the purse phase, having experimented with tote bags. I have three quilted bags and matching accessories designed by Donna Sharp at House of Quilts. Each is unique, but I can make something as nice or nicer...and not have made in China labor. I will stimulate the local economy and have Yooper (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) labor.
Piecefully yours,
Kay Susan
