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 ????
The bag looks great!

ReplyDeleteWonderful bag and I've fallen in love in your bird love photo.
ReplyDeleteCute bag...must be because it's sooo French!
ReplyDeleteI love everything French so OOH La la to you .
ReplyDeleteGreat bag! But romance... I'll take a hot cup of tea, a good book and 8 hours sleep any day!
ReplyDeleteNothing like the French to influence us ---- it those mellifluous sounds --- and a talking point bag.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. 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
ReplyDeleteYour bag looks fantastic!

That's a gorgeous little bag with the applique and embroidery. Love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Bag ... if it needs a new home you know where I am! (it might stop Lily from taking my other one) ;o) hugs
ReplyDeleteLoving 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
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteHey 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
