Hi,

I am referred to as the "bag lady" around my LQS, does that explain it all?

I probably have about 14 that I use....have made more for others or given away as gifts. I love to make purses! Also make them for the samples at the quilt shop. I have plenty of quilts, so purses, bags, and totes, (you didn't ask about them) fulfull my urge to make something with my new "favorite" fabric of the week!

Bev :D

I have made a couple but didn't do a very good job. I would not show them for anything. I just think they must be too hard for me to make. They just look "too" home made looking. LOL :oops:

Tumdarra 07-19-2011 06:07 PM

hmm i have 7...and still have lots of material that I need to put together, lol

sewnsewer2 07-19-2011 06:18 PM

:lol: Can't go count them right now, I'm afraid to! I think I make a new one every 4 months or so. I take the others I don't want anymore to goodwill.

ghostrider 07-19-2011 06:24 PM

None. It's gotta be leather for me.

Stitchnripper 07-19-2011 06:26 PM

One for me, one for one friend, and two for another friend.

Tartan 07-19-2011 07:05 PM

Not really quilted but I have made a couple of quilted "shells" for my Michi purse.

valsma 07-19-2011 07:10 PM

None. I don't like fabric purses.
Sorry don't ban me please.

snipforfun 07-19-2011 07:41 PM

Too many!

charismah 07-19-2011 09:52 PM

ummm....I don't have to answer that.

Krystyna 07-20-2011 02:37 AM

I only own one that my secret pal from the board's swap this month sent to me. But I'd love to make some.

Debbie C 07-20-2011 03:12 AM

just now forming an interest in making one....guess I'm a late bloomer

j 07-20-2011 03:33 AM

I don t even own a purse. I wear a wrist bracelet that carries my money and credit cards and keys if I dont have a pocket. Gave up carrying anything heavy on my shoulder after I hurt it.- Joan

mollybluebonnet 07-20-2011 03:33 AM

What a great idea! I'm going to use it.

Lavada 07-20-2011 03:34 AM

none but have seen some neat ones

sewmom 07-20-2011 03:48 AM

Puses-only a couple. But -totes, I have several.

fabricfairy 07-20-2011 03:54 AM

I taught a work shop a couple of years ago and had to make 15 to show and tell , but I would have made at least 50 use a simular method , I just love bags od any sort.

Tinabodina 07-20-2011 03:57 AM

Only 1, but winter will be here soon and I have plenty of patterns.

Moon Holiday 07-20-2011 04:24 AM

I have to make a guess because I have 2 boxes of them packed away from our move here 6 years ago. What I have made and kept since our move numbers around 25. What can I say.... I'm addicted!

jeanneb52 07-20-2011 04:35 AM

four, but have given at least fifty away. You're right, it is addicting!

cpre1031 07-20-2011 04:40 AM

I made my first one last week and my second one this week. They are so fun to make!! I sense Christmas gifts!!

gmaybee 07-20-2011 04:42 AM

I teach at a quilt shop and the other ladies there call me the Bag Lady, because I love making them.

Ditto for me.

sewbizgirl 07-20-2011 04:45 AM

None at all... I do make lots of bags and sell in my etsy shop, but not quilted. I prefer a firmer look for a bag.

Iamquilter 07-20-2011 04:57 AM

One and will make one more for myself.Already have the fabric, but other quilts have to be made first.

LindaMRB 07-20-2011 05:06 AM

I have none.
Bow tuck always reminds me of Botox and I just can't do it.

It has been hinted that I make covers for kindles but doubt I will..I bought too nice a one for only 12 bucks.

cr12cats 07-20-2011 05:07 AM

i have the patterns looks like i need to break down and start making them. sounds like you all are having to much fun making them

unclefreckles 07-20-2011 05:20 AM

None, but I have a pattern that I want to try. Just haven't had the time yet.

Becka 07-20-2011 05:35 AM

None for me.

quiltymom 07-20-2011 05:36 AM

None but wish I had one!!!

Jo Cypher 07-20-2011 05:40 AM

I have 1 quilted purse a friend made me. I just purchased 4 patterns on a shop hop and found 1 online I would like. I guess it is a new found passion for me as well. I have one cut out ready to work the next block of time I have free.
I like to make small projects and have something to show for my efforts quickly.

loriea 07-20-2011 05:48 AM

Not the best topic for me today. Last week I bought a bag pattern for The Potato Chip Bag. It was supposed to be so fun that you can't make just one. I am thinking iffffff I ever finish the one I started it will be an onlly one. I have spent the last two evenings working on it with my friend Jack (the ripper). I'm still not done. It seems so silly to get so frustrated over this litttle bag. I Have been tempted to toss it into the garbage, bit I don't want to admit defeat by something so trivial.

MarilynLouise 07-20-2011 05:50 AM

I Have a drawer full. Many sizes. When I get tired of them I give them to the church rummage sale and they are passed on to someone else!

marshaKay 07-20-2011 05:51 AM

Bunches of totes, but no purses. Too bulky for me. I like little purses.

KathyKat 07-20-2011 05:52 AM

One but I might make some for gifts someday. However I've found that I like making quilts better.

ywoodruff5 07-20-2011 05:57 AM

Would you believe I have several "sewn" purses but no "quilted" ones.....lol

callie 07-20-2011 06:05 AM

One that was giving to me last year by a precious friend. I love it.
