overstock

it might be overstock to have this many bags hanging my closet, but i do like to have a wide variety for people to look through when they want to purchase one, over 40 doesn't seem like to many right? i have made atleast 12 since we moved to colorado last year, certainly have not kept pace with previous years work, but i know for a fact that the next bag i make will mark #377, and with easily 100 in my profile binders ready to sew i have plenty of work to do before i ever have to purchase any fabric.

red onion

i really love this bag this 2013 year, the main fabric is a piece i received from my grandma holgerson and is accented with red and turquoise and browns, it took years for me to decide what i wanted to do with it, it was almost big enough to use as a covered head board project but when i realised that it would be the happiest made into some bags that is what i did, i even gave her a bag a few years back on her birthday, i had to fly out and go to her lunch party as i was invited to go to the red onion, it is a fabulous invite written in sharpie on a napkin, i just love that gal
