Quilters never need buy a purse again

Yes, I've made another bag.  This one is Laurianne, a pattern by Moonlight Designs.  It is very complicated to make and took me all day.  But, I'm pleased with the outcome.  I need to find a good snap closure for it.  Any suggestions?  I've used Velcro in the past, but, it seems to wear out or can't hold all my stuff together, so I'm probably going to Joann's tomorrow to find a good closure.  The beads are from old necklaces that give it the closure for now.

Pictures will follow soon.  What is it with Blogger and the slow recognition of pictures I just took.  It seems it takes a couple of days before I have the ability to upload my pictures.  I think I might be switching to Mobile Me soon.  Does anyone like or dislike Mobile Me?  It's the Apple website/upload place.

It's fall in the Ohio Valley

Along with all this lovely fall goodness, I'm working on a Tennessee Waltz quilt and a purse.  The quilt is too big for the design wall and it's time to add the rows of blocks.

I'm still auditioning fabric for my Lantern Bag.  It's put together like box pleated drapes.  In my early life of a quilter, I made drapes for interior designers.  I made a couple of box pleated drapes in my time and I saw this and thought brilliant!  You have the capacity to expand your bag.  Without expansion you have the accent fabric to show, or if junk expands to the space allotted, you have the peek a boo of the bag fabric to show.
