Fall Bag from 1,2,3 Sew book By Blog host The Longthread

My jaw dropped when I saw this bag, I was so J-E-A-L-O-U-S .

Imagine my utter shock when I realized it was sewn with Our Wool!



Now, Isnt that just the most beautiful fall handbag?
I own the book 1,2,3 Sew and I have to say I enjoy it because of the fact I have litterally picked a pattern from the book, Picked the fabric and sewn it without any Cusssing!!
That is a sure testiment of a good craft book - in my opinion.
I love the reversible skirt patttern so much! Thank you Ellen.
Check out the Longthread blog here  I linked it to the post on the purse but Ellen has alot of great things over there to check out Including great Tutorials that you can use cottons or wools with.

We are Here

Thank you for all of your warm wishes to us Irene took hold over us.
Thankfully we escaped most of the fury.
Are Hearts go out to all of those who were effected by Irene.
I am so saddened by the devestation in particular to Vermont.
My husband and I love to take weekend getaways to the small towns of Vermont. We have met some of the most WONDERFUL people there.
If you ever stay or travel in VT. Please stop in to

Jamaica was one of the towns effected by Irene.
It is filled with the most good natured, truly caring people and Best! baked goods. Just down the road is Harmonyville ( yes, I almost talked my husband into moving there just so I could say I lived in Harmonyville ). A little farther down the road is Townshend ( stop in for great smoked meats and cheeses ), The town in which scenes from Chevy Chases' movie Funny Farm was filmed. A truly warm and kind community.

Folk N' Fiber has a new website Be sure to check it out!
