    Default Just a Little Purse
    I've had this pattern for a while but the hold up was getting up the nerve to cut the piece of needlepoint I found in a thrift store. I always associate needlepoint with my mother, who covered the dining room chairs and a pair of matching hearth chairs. I still have the piece we worked on together, for a piano bench (alas I have no piano now) and I appreciate the hours required.
    This was a bell pull, and as my home has no use for a bell pull I felt only a little guilt cutting it. I used upholstery fabric hoping I will get more wear than had I used cotton, as was suggested.
    I only broke 2 needles. LOL

    How clever and it is being used and not in a closet or drawer.

    Nice purse! It wasn't doing any good languishing in the thrift shop so I now it is showcased on your purse.

    That is a beautiful use for the needlepoint. I have done cross stitch off and on over the years, but never needlepoint. Your purse is lovely.
