A CUSTOM ORDER OF ANOTHER HEXAGON FLOWER BOX PURSE!
I received a custom order of 2 hexagon flower box purses last week. The lady who placed the order wanted me to use her own fabrics of her own taste, so she sent me the fabrics. She wanted all the leftover fabrics back! It looks like she is an another fabric addict just like me! :) I understand how she feels about her fabrics very well!
One of the purses will be a Christmas present for her quilting friend. The lady says she'll try to keep it as a secret till Xmas, but she says it'll be very hard to do it! I sent the same pictures to the lady and I'm very glad that she liked the color combination.
The second purse is in the same color combo. But I'll use a different fabric for binding so they can tell them apart.
The fabrics she sent to me are of fabric designer Jo Morton for Andover Fabrics. I haven't heard anything about Jo Morton before but it turned out I had some of the same fabric line, too! So I used also them next to the lady's fabrics.

A GIFT FOR A FRIEND: SAKIZOME YOYO PURSE
Yesterday I started a small purse for a friend. Next Friday we'll gather for her birthday and I'll be presenting this purse to her.
I used my favorite Japanese yarn dyed "sakizome" fabrics for the background and again Japanese "konuno" old kimono fabrics for the yoyo embellishments. I have still lots of konuno yoyos at hand and I'm thinking about using them like this. Actually I made them for a yoyo hat project but I couldn't figure out how to sew it, so I gave up the project half way.
