The first three were photographed yesterday and look at the difference. The last two have a kind of blue tinge to them. It is very sunny here today, as it was yesterday, but it's almost as if someone has fitted the sky with a blue light bulb, very strange indeed.I am now continuing to embellish the piece of crazy patchwork I showed you last time. At the moment it has prairie points added and a little fringe but that's all I can say for now, no pictures. I am going to keep you guessing until later.
The next two days are going to be a bit busy here. My nephew, he is 17, flies in from Sweden tomorrow and I am picking him up from the airport. He will spend friday night with us and then I will deliver him to my mother (75 miles north) on saturday for a week. I am not sure how much sewing I am going to get through......... I wonder if he knows how to do a french knot???? Can I teach him how to do a french knot????
The extra large frames have arrived too, they are quite big, I would call them handbag size. Now I need to work out the shape and size of fabric it will take to morph them into finished things. I feel a calico template coming on...

The purses are gorgeous, Karen, as is your crazy patchwork below. I hope you and the family have a lovely weekend. I think the Swedish nephew should be fine with the French knots. Or at least with some cross stitches on gingham. After all, you did have the one-day 'apprentice' with you a few months ago (can't remember his name) and he got the hang of it all!
Absolutely wonderful. At least the driving will let your fingers recover, lol
The purses are elegant. Love the patchwork one the best. I'm not surprised it has already been snatched up.

Those are just adorable Karen, what wonderful work :)
I love them all but the blue striped one and the white with lavendar flowers especially!
The purses are gorgeous!!!

GORGEOUS!
They look lovely, but very intricate to assemble - well done!
I hope Swedish Nephew gets the hang of French Knots - who knows, there might be a whole new interest in the offing!
Another job very well done. They are gorgeous Karen.
Enjoy the visit of your nephew.
Absolute perfection.

Blimey Karen, do you ever sleep?? The purses are beautiful, and I love your style of fabric painting (I've been catching up on the last few post!
Absolutely beautiful, Karen!
They're all so pretty! I like them all and wish I could afford one, but it's just not possible right now. (Wanted to provide a but of support and let you know that I really like your work even though I can't do so monetarily.)
