See that cute little mother of pearl purse frame?
Isn't she sweet?
I've been wanting to incorporate these into a design for some time.
I've taken the plunge...
a trial run,
if you will!
And here is my prototype...

And here is my prototype...
The frames do not come with any instructions or pattern pieces...{sigh}
so there was some guessing,
&
by gosh
&
by gollying
going on.
But I'm happy with how the little purse looks now,
and
feel good about starting all over
with a new little purse...
One with cross stitched motifs
adorning the purse.
Yes, this little purses base fabric is linen...
as in cross stitch linen!
And its lined with
antique reproduction calico.
{sigh again}
A sweet little design has been charted
for this piece and now I'll put my needle to linen!
Think of a petite little purse,
just 5" tall...
a safe-haven for your
favorite scissors,
sewing thimble,
strawberry emery
&
needle case...
{sigh}
Stay tuned!
With thy Needle & Thread,
Brenda

You better be offering these! Don't dangle candy if we can't taste it! This is just SO sweet.
ditto ditto ditto -- it is so neat--- I do have a ? -- way back I used to do cross-stitch but now love punchneedle and work your designs- my question is -is it quicker to do cross stitch or punch needle when a design is basically the same??? thanks! nancy
Yes yes YES! I love it! And I haven't even seen it finished yet....you have us brainwashed Brenda! Such a darling idea! And a note to Nancy...punchneedle is definitely quicker but just be sure you have the right fabric!
Sigh.
Your creativity and imagination never cease to amaze me.
Love it.

That's a great use for it, and it's so cute! Will be watching for the stitched one!
I can't wait to see what you do with that little purse..I have those handles and they are still just sitting here. I am so NOT creative!
Beautiful.... ~Kriss~
Really cute! Can't wait to see the next one; hopefully there'll be a pattern eventually.
