An actual finish






Hubby took me to a quilt shop this weekend since I wanted to get a new foot for my Bernina. While there he spotted these leather handles for tote bags and purchased this pretty rose one for me.
So , I was determined to start a bag and complete it, so 2 days later, here stands my bag.
I am so proud that I actually completed it and did not let it sit there for days.
I leave you with some new blooms in my flower beds.

Lovely bag and what a great feeling to finish something. Bags are good for the kind of feeling. The embroidery work is amazing on it!! I so see you using this!

Betsy, your bag is gorgeous! I saw lots of those types of leather handles at the quilt show, but didn't buy any. Your hubby has great taste!
And your flowers are lovely...ours MAY decide to start blooming if it ever stops raining!
