I have become slightly obsessed with making these patchwork clutchbags. I really like the way that, eventhough I am using the same fabrics in all the bags,they look so different depending on the fabric I choose for the end strip. I also love the braid I added too.



I have had such a busy week. I am attending the
Terryglass Arts Festival Craft Fair on Sunday and am trying to make stock but it is selling quicker than I can make it. That's not a bad thing but I always worry when I go to these fairs that I won't have enough.
I am also very excited because I have started organising an xmas craft fair in Ballinasloe . Date is booked in
Gullanes Hotel Ballinasloe for Sunday November 14th. (11.30-6.00 I want to target the 11.00 mass- goers).
Loads more going on too, and tonnes more news to come....

Hey Andrea! Thanks for all the compliments!! I think putting some hexies together for a clutch would be adoreable! I think I remember there recently being a tutorial from jaybirdquilts.com..here I found it! http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/2010/08/hand-sewing-hexagons-part-1.html and I believe she will be posting a part 2 to the tutorial in the next few days...also I found this tutorial which shows you how to machine sew the hexies together (it will definitly try your patience, but much quicker than hand sewing!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQG0V42O0fI I'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous as usual, cant wait to see!!
These are so pretty, I see why you are wild about them. I love the fabric and color selections you have made!
