A Gift
I wanted to give a thank you gift to a friend who has really invested herself in our family in extravagant ways lately. I thought for a long time and finally decided on a purse. Our friend has a gift of creativity and she is very stylish with her dress so I felt a little nervous picking out fabric for the purse but once I remembered the bird fabric I was excited. I stumbled upon the bird fabric one day at Joanns and bought a fair amount (40% off coupons are our friend) that I tucked away for such a time as this. I ended up using Amy Butler’s Frenchy Bag pattern which I really liked. It was quick and simple to put together especially if you leave the pockets off as I did. These pictures are iffy as I used my cell phone to take them but at least I remembered to get pictures at all! 
Wow!! I love it and love that fabric (really really love that fabric) What a super lucky friend!

The bag is gorgeous! Really love it!
By the way, my sister LOVES using the burp clothes and the nursing cover is so useful. You are truly talented and so generous…thanks again!!!

first of, what in the same hill kind of phone do you have that will take such a great picture, and then transfer it so well to your blog. MIGHTY impressive.
I must tell you, this fabric is what made me realize that you and I could be friends. You were ever so kind to mention to me that it was at JoAnn’s, and that I should buy some. Thanks to you, I now have a little stash of it myself, and a crafty friend to boot!
