FMQ'd Handbag from Lazy Girl Designs
 

Here's my latest bag. It's from the "Margo" pattern by Lazy Girl Designs. I used some various fabrics including some from an unused pair of drapes, some blue faux suede, and a batik my daughter gave me...Hope you like it!

The front of the bag almost covered with a large quilted pocket. (I added my own FMQing design to the pocket; not part of the pattern.)

I also FMQ'd the back.

And here's a peek at the pockets inside. I sized them to fit my cell phone and other items I like to keep in their own handy little pockets.

The fabrics and colors are wonderful but it is the quilting that really puts this over the top

love the quilting

Wow what an amazing and awesome quilting done by you, keep it up. Thanks for sharing with us. It is looking fantastic and that sides design is looking fabulous.

Great bag...lovely FMQ. Well done.

Looks great!!!

fantastic!!...i am in love with your quilted feathers...they are soooo stunningly beautiful!!!!

I have made a couple of these bags but I love that you used heavier weight fabrics it looks like. And that beautiful quilting design just absolutely makes the bag!!! Wish I was that talented!

Thanks, Linda. Yes, all the fabrics except the lining are heavier weight. It was a bit of a struggle for my machine to get through all those layers in places, but worth it, I think. :p

Wow, what a great idea.

Wow! That is stunning, both the quilting and the bag. What kind of a machine do you have to do your FMQing? Is it a domestic? So impressed!

That feather is so dramatic! Very nice!!

Yes, it's a domestic. I made this entire bag on my Juki TL 98 Q. All it does is a straight stitch (not even zigzag) and it does it very well. I do all my quilting using the "push through" method. I control the speed with my foot and move the fabric sandwich with my hands. Simple, yet effective.

So fancy feathers CAN be made on a domestic. You give me hope that maybe someday I can do that too. You obviously have excellent control!

Beautiful bag!

Very pretty and I love your quilting!
