I am so happy today because it's still Saturday and I managed to finish the entry for this week's Wiplash competition. This is the last week and I had a great time creating things almost every week. When I saw that this week the theme was "color" I was really happy because I love mixing colors and playing with color. I think the hardest part for me when I'm making something is figuring out how to combine properly colors and how to make it work. This week I decided to try something I have never done before. I made a quilted purse with the sewing machine, even though I didn't think I could quilt anything with my machine. But it worked! and I am very happy with the results. This is the general front view. It has a long string to be able to wear it crossing your chest.
Hoy estoy muy contenta porque aun es Sabado y ya me las he arreglado para acabar mi proyecto para el concurso de Wiplash. Esta es la ultima semana y me lo he pasado muy bien creando cosas casi cada semana. Cuando vi que el tema de esta semana era "color" me alegre mucho porque me encanta combinar colores y jugar con los colores. Creo que la parte mas dificil para mi cuando hago algo es averiguar como combinar los colores correctamente para que quede bien. He hecho un bolsito acolchado con la maquina de coser, aunque no pense que esta maquina pudiera hacer eso. Pero me ha salido bien! y estoy muy contenta con el resultado final. Esta es la vista frontal. Tiene un asa largo para poderlo cruzar por el pecho.
This is a close-up. Log cabin design.
Vista de cerca. Disenho "log cabin".
The back is made of denim, I like the dark denim color.
La parte de atras esta hecha de tela vaquera, me gusta el azul oscuro de esta tela.
Detailed view of the liner inside and the blanquet stitches.
Vista en detalle de la parte de dentro con las puntadas.
The top has a ribbon inside. The design for this purse was originally a coin pouch but I made it bigger and modified it so that it could be used as a regular purse.
La parte de arriba tiene un lazo por dentro. El disenho de este bolso es ralmente un monedero pero lo he modificado, haciendolo mas grande y de manera que pueda ser usado como bolso.
And this is the purse in use, an attempt of taking a picture of myself while looking after my son.
Y este es el bolso en uso, un intento de haceme una foto mientras cuido de mi hijo.

I love the color combination! It is bright and cheerful!
LOVE this purse! Great colors!
(I have that same green stripe fabric and the same green with flowers that you lined it with!)
Your lovely purse made me so happy!
What a lovely purse, and lovely colours :-)
Looove this idea. Love the ribbon top. Very very nice.
I like how you combined a traditional block with modern color and made the second side a different design. It adds great dimension to your purse. The horizontal line quilting adds wonderful texture. I like that pink polka dot ribbon too! Great job!
Lovely purse!
it's just a great bag, I love how thick and cozy it looks, and yes, very very colourful! :-)
