Felt Bag Finally Finished!
She is more subdued in real life (reminds me of shades of blueberries) and meant to be a sturdy enough to hold lots of goodies when my eldest daughter, Andrea, and I attend the Houston Quilt Market next month to promote "Making More Needle Felting Magic." I looked for months to find a suitable lining but never found one so I opted to felt the lining and let it hang over the edge with a little decorative needle felting and stitching to dress her up! The straps were felted and then stitched to a fabric backing so they won't stretch when carrying a heavy load.
