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!

Barbara, I love the bag that you made. Was the frame hard to attach? So cute!

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/

I too am addicted to Pinterest. It's a toss-up if I spend more time on Quilting Board or Pinterest. No wonder my hand quilting takes so long. I can't seem to turn off the computer. The good ideas are just endless and many of them seem to turn into UFO's.

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

Sewbizgirl...thanks for the bio...it is great to get to know each other. Congrats on all the beautiful quilts that you have made!
I am interested in the Arkansas Crossroads.....might work on that one. Are you using squares that are 2.5"????

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!

barbarakibler23 04-10-2014 03:52 PM

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
