to give...

I finished up my Pleated Beauty bag last night for the Bend the Rules Sewing Swap, and it's off to Nancy in London today.   As soon as I saw her blog, The Philosophy of Lists , I knew I had to pull out some of my most-favorite-ever fabric. Her photos have such lush lighting--most are outdoor shots--and the green of England is ever-present and oh-so-pretty!  All those greens and browns brought to mind this fabric:

I hope she likes the combo--Tina Givens ZaZu in earth and lime and a smidgen of Joelle Hoverson's Cake Rock Beach, lined in my favorite linen for a bit more sturdiness.      

I hope you enjoy the bag as much as I enjoyed making it for you, Nancy!

And on a totally un-related note, I was thrilled to read that she has some "in-town" chickens, too!  (I've got to write to you about that Nancy!) I'm still working on the husband, trying to get him to go for our own backyard flock.  Just ask him how much I love saying "chicken tractor"!

What a beautiful bag! I'm sure she's going to just love it. I, too, dream of a back yard full of chickens (and a goat, because then I will make my own goat cheese, and I will somehow also grow a green thumb and be able to grow all my own veggies....) :)

I love this bag. I really need to make one of these (some day). Anyways, I'm sure Nancy will love it too. :)

LOVE the bag...I'm in love! Beauttiful fabric selections...Nancy has a great blog. We wouldn't mind some in-town chickens either...if only it were allowed! Happy Days ((HUGS)
