Peggy in Texas USA Swap

Finished in March 2010

I made these presents for the swap hosted by Peggy in TexasUSA.





I've been meaning to make this Grab Bag ever since I saw it in a quilting magazine. I used Michael Miller's fabric for both the outer and inner lining for this bag. It's difficult to see from the picture, but I also used Mettler's varigated thread to quilt around the bag opening!






I love ribbon embroidery and the touch it gives to a project. For this needle pouch, I used ribbons Made In Taiwan. These ribbons are not silk, but the end result is the same... classy!

I hope the recipients will love my handmade projects!
