WE LOVE FINISHED PROJECTS

We finished the new purse today, handles and all.  We absolutely love this bag.

























 It is a perfect size and has a great shape. 

























The inside has two pockets, big enough for all my lip glosses and my pda.  It has a button closure to hold everything safe. 

Now, the fun part, a name.  As far as bags go, we are up to the letter "F".  We have been searching for a good name.  Janice's daughter-in-law, Nicole, was the one who gave us the idea for the bag,  she would like the name to be "Nicolette."  I have taken a liking to "MAGGIE MAY."  We are open for suggestions, however, you know our theme, Beatle Manie.  So let us know. 
Oh yeah, the only bad news, the pattern will not be ready until Quilt Market, the middle of October.  We will have several more fabric versions, though, between now and then.
The good news, "PAPER BACK WRITER" is now available.

We used a fabric collection from Moda, "AUTHENTIC", which is shipping hopefully this week into your local store.  The quilt uses 20 fat quarters and some yardage.  The pattern is for sale on our website, http://www.abbeylanequilts.com/.
That is it for today.  We are waiting for fabric from Moda for two more new quilts for Market.  We have a couple of other surprises in store.
Have a great week, and we would love help on the name for the new bag.
Janice and Marcea

What about "Fancy Free," "Fanciful," or "Strikes My Fancy."
