Barbara Randle
“Precious” Handbag
In this class you will crazy quilt using the techniques in Barbara’s books, Crazy Quilting With Attitude, and More Crazy Quilting With Attitude. We will use machine embellishments so we can get instant gratification and learn the simplest of purse construction techniques. This is the perfect accessory for that special outfit. This “Little Jewel” is 8 ½” wide and 9 ½” tall; it has a mitered bottom that is 3” X 5 ½”. It is Crazy Quilted on the front; the back is three horizontal strips stitched and flipped on a foundation. It has yarn and decorative threads as embellishment. There is a striped band around the top which is separated from the quilted parts by fabulous ribbon trim and the handle is a double woven cord. The “icing on the cake,” or we could call it the centerpiece, is the “hickey-doodle;” that thing that hangs down the front, serves no purpose, and is just CUTE. A magnetic snap keeps the top closed.
