Chloe Bag.

This pieced beauty was embellished with L’orna Crystals. Piece enough fabric to cut out your bag, then
embellish it with crystals. Do you have “orphan”
blocks that didn’t make it into a quilt? This is a perfect way to use them up! [Figure 5]
This “fish” bag also incorporates piecing. The fish
panel was pieced, bordered and made into a fun summer bag. The button eye is a great finishing detail.
[Figure 6]
Flying geese is another popular piecing technique.
Stitch a strip of “geese” and set them into a bag for a
pretty quilted masterpiece! [Figure 7]

{Chenille-it Strips border the top of this bag. Stitch
them on and brush them up for a great dimensional
touch. Giant stippling quilts the bag for a pretty addition to any outfit! [Figure 8]
Regardless of how you decide to embellish your Chloe
bag, you are bound to have fun doing it!

Door Quilts
I
nteractive doors on this wall quilt open to expose little
sayings on the inside. Made by Kathleen Brown, it commemorates a trip she took with her husband.
To make the door you need two photos of the door itself
and one of the image to go behind it. One door photo is
the base for the square. The second is the actual door that
will open. Cut out the door allowing 1/4” seam allowance
all the way around. Then make the inside of the door with
the printed saying the same size. Sew the two right sides
together, leaving an opening to turn. Turn and press.
Cut the “view behind
the door” the same size
as you cut the door. Turn
under the edge 1/4” on all
four sides and press.
Applique in place over the
door on your base quilt
square. Then stitch the newly
constructed door in place with
invisible thread.
To add door, zigzag stitch along
the hinge side with Sulky Polyester
Invisible thread.
One of the School quilts was made
from a fabric print that had fun
squares on it. Lay the photo behind
the square that you want the picture
in and straight stitch. Cut away the
front fabric and satin stitch in place.
The other quilt had the actual
school printed on it. The “door” was
cut away to reveal the child’s face
behind the door, made in the same
way as the first “door” quilt. ■

What’s New to Do!
Frayed Fabric Flower
P
at DeSantis from Wrights joined Karen and Sue with
a frayed fabric flower. Trace patterns from the book
onto paper and cut out. Trace around the patterns on
fabric. You need several of each flower.
Layer so petals are off set and aren’t on top of one
another.
Stitch marked circle in the center through all the layers
by hand or machine, in a long basting stitch. Pull up
stitches and tie off.
To make the center “fru-fru”, trim the header off
the lace. Stitch on the raw edge with a long
straight stitch. Gather up the lace. The long stitch
will gather automatically. Add pearls, trims, and
rattail cord and create a loose bow. Stitch the lace
and trims together, and place onto the flower.
Stitch here and there through all the layers to
tack them together. Add beads, if desired, and a
pin back.
