What a great week!  I was able to get so much accomplished this week(well mostly this weekend), 4 quilt blocks, a tissue holder, and my Mini Margaret!  At long last, here she is!  As you can see I went with the blue fabric button, I went with a better button though, the first set of covered buttons weren’t holding together as well as I had hoped, so I found another kind that I like, and if I get tired of the black frame around it I can change it out for another color, or I can just take it right off!

And here is the inside, complete with 2 pockets, a pen pocket and a debit card pocket.   I changed the pockets from the original pattern because when I shrunk the pattern the pockets that were the “right size” were to small for my liking, so I opted for 2 different sized pockets

I love it, the color, the shape, the size I couldn’t be happier! My Mini Margaret is about half the size of the real Margaret bag, I didn’t want anything big, as I am not a purse girl normally, but I love this bag!  It happened quite by accident as some of you may have read in a previous post.  I like to print out my patterns 2 pages to a sheet so that I can cut them in half and put them into a mini binder, this saves space, wastes less paper and its easier to lift a mini binder rather then a full big binder.  But when I went to print the pattern template pieces I forgot to change the settings back to one page per sheet, and so I created a “mini” Margaret by accident.  I did also print of the full size template for later use!

Please put on sunglasses for the next picture, my very white legs may blind you!  What can I say, I would rather be quilting then out in the sun!

Thanks Amy for the Challenge this week!  I really needed a kick in the pants to get a project done!
