When I was given a charm pack of Rouenneries I knew I wanted to make a bag designed by Kris from Tag Along Teddies blog. This is my version of French Shopping Spree
A close up of the detail - quilting, applique and stitchery .....
The strap is fun with jumbo ric-rac...
Kris is the co-host of OPAM with Peg, and has a lovely quilt in Homespun this month.... and just made another beaut Frenchy quilt... have a look HERE
Something about the french theme has brought a bit of romance into the air here....
Righto - Gotta Go..... I wonder if I can conjour up some romance round here ????

Your bag looks gorgeous. French General fabrics are lovely.
Beautiful bag and love it in those fabrics. Our store had a sale, but of course the fat quarter bundles of this, were gone by the time I got there.

Such a great bag Fi... but a little too much info in the romance department...lol! :)
Wonderful bag and I've fallen in love in your bird love photo.
Cute bag...must be because it's sooo French!
I love everything French so OOH La la to you .
Great bag! But romance... I'll take a hot cup of tea, a good book and 8 hours sleep any day!
Nothing like the French to influence us ---- it those mellifluous sounds --- and a talking point bag.
Gorgeous. I just received my Homespun magazine yesterday and I was so excited when I saw all the French and Macaron loveliness inside. Your bag is really lovely xx
Your bag looks fantastic!
I saw Kris' quilt in the new homespun. It is beautiful too!
I love that eiffel tower.
Oh that is pretty! I think I might have one of those charm packs...
A lovely design by Kris. Haven't got my Homespun yet. Those fabrics are gorgeous. I have me some of them too.....
Fantastic Bubz.....Kris will be thrilled to see this one...
I love your bag. My kind of colors, fabrics and the memories of Paris. Wonderful!
That is just gorgeous, Fiona, I love it! The rick rack is wonderful. And I love the pic of the birds!
Hello Fiona,
Now a trip to Paris must be on the cards.
Happy days.

That's a gorgeous little bag with the applique and embroidery. Love the fabrics.
Beautiful Bag ... if it needs a new home you know where I am! (it might stop Lily from taking my other one) ;o) hugs
Loving the bag, but then I would, wouldn't I LOL, went to have a look at the French quilt and OMG how beautiful is that... would love that to live here. Hugs x
What a lovely bag...the fabrics are very pretty. So sad :( you Grandiegirls are so far away...I would be devastated if Charlotte live so far away.
I bet with all that France-ish stuff and those love birds you might just be able to find some romance. Or even better..just have a dance with your sewing machine. Do NOT tell my husband I said that. LOL
Hey Fiona! Ooh! La! La! indeed!!! Your version of "French Shopping Spree" has come up FANTASTICALLY! It's so fun to see something conjured in my imagination appearing in different colours and fabrics to bring a little French happiness to the world! :0) We shall be a matched pair now on Fridays! Tee! Hee! Hee! Happy Stitching!! Bear Hugs - KRIS
The bag is gorgeous! Good Job :)
