Beautiful, contratulations -- are you hooked yet?

Very pretty!

You should be VERY happy w/it!! You did a great job & I love the colors. Now, you should get busy & make one for every season & every holiday. . . :) :) :)

Nice work and love the colors.

Question for you -- do you use fusible fleece instead of batting or interfacing? I found this better because you fuse it onto your fabric then it makes quilting easier. Plus, it gives more support to the bag but yours looks nice and solid.

Another tip is to use light or med weight fusible interfacing on the lining for extra support. My customers have been very pleased and most of my orders are by word-of-mouth.

This is in no way a critique because your bag looks great. I know my first bag didn't look that good. Just want to share my mistakes so you don't have to learn them yourself.

Have fun !!

I agree with your recommendations, I used Pellon Fusible Thermolam plus, which was nice and thick and really gave my tote a lot of support and structure.

Hi, Yes I did use the fusible pellon on both the purse and the lining. I may try to make a couple to sell. I enjoy picking fabrics. I thought it was difficult to understand the instructions, but now that I have done it, I think it will go a lot faster.

I love your purse and the colors you chose also.

Beautiful and love the fabric.

Very beautiful purse, love the nice colours.

I love it...and those colors are my colors...:)
