ID PURSES ARE FUN TO MAKE

Did you get any sewing done over the holiday weekend?  I am working on three different projects and nothing is completed.  However, I did make these two ID purses over the weekend.  I was thrilled when my granddaughter and DIL asked me to make them one.  I love making things for people but don’t want to force my projects onto others.  Everyone’s taste is different and I respect that.  Being asked to make these made my day.

Here is a close up of one of the purses.

This is a close up of the other purse.  The pattern is I.D. Coin Purse from Granny’s Quilting in Palmetto, Florida.  It is designed and created by Ruth DeVries.  Ruth came to the Attic Window Quilt Shop a few years ago and taught the class.  Take a look on the sidebar for more upcoming fun classes at the shop.

Here are some fun links for you: 
Did you know this about batteries?  Check out Cornerstone Confessions for information on battery storage and organization.

And did you know this about cucumbers?  Check out The Prudent Pantry for information about how to keep those cucumbers fresh.

I’ve saved the best for last because you will spend a lot of time at Bits From The Scrap Basket.  There are a lot of links to her favorite tutorials.

MAKE THIS ORIGINAL

This fat quarter ID coin purse was designed and made by our newest teacher at the Attic Window Quilt Shop Ruth DeVries. This purse is the greatest. You can hang it around your neck to allow you to be hands free (the better for feeling fabric or carrying bolts). It is a great place to put your keys, driver’s license, passport, phone, iPod, etc. My teenage granddaughters have already asked for one. You can purchase one at the shop, or you can come take a class with Ruth and make one of your own. She has two classes coming up: Thursday, June 25th from 1-4; and Tuesday, July 21st from 6-9. Call the Attic Window and make a reservation now as this class is sure to fill up quick. Or for you who are too far away to attend the class, call the shop and see how you can purchase this original pattern.
