Hello and welcome to Day 6 of the UR Priceless blog hop!! We have all been making lovely coin purses!! If you are new to my blog - WELCOME!! I hope you stay and have a look around! There may even be a giveaway at the bottom!
A big thank you to Madame Samm for such a fun pattern with pictorial instructions, and to Katherine for all her cheer leading and time spent getting us all organised! The hardest part was definitely finding the correct frame. I wanted silver but they don't seem to do silver sew-in frames, so I settled with an antique-look sew-in as my seams were quite thick so they wouldn't fit into the silver glue-in frame I also purchased. DMC floss worked a treat to sew it in.
A silver frame would have suited my fabrics better don't you think? I used some fun Laurie Wisbrun chair fabric with some Kona for the outside of the coin purse. For the interior, I used Summersville by Lucie Summers. I love these colours together - fresh and happy!

Your purse is lovely. I am making some EPP ornaments for gifts and beaded ornaments.

Love your cute little purse, I think it looks fine without the silver! As for gifts, haven't started yet, but want to make some zippy pouches and maybe some cute aprons. I'm a follower too :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the chair fabric! Very cute purse. I just finished up my last 'extra' gift because I just found the pattern - cute little 'face' bags to throw some hotwheel cars in for the grandsons.
lovely purse you make. I will make quilt for my baby.
I have been making small coin purses for gifts! Surprise, surprise! Along with those I have made placemats, gift bags to put the gifts in and some totes! Now it is getting down to crunch time and I had better finish up! Love the colors you used in your adorable purse.
Your frame is very pretty and delicate looking -- where did you find it? Love the print, too! Great job and what a fun giveaway! I'm making the Christmas Tree napkins and matching table toppers for all of my sisters! :)

What a cute little purse. I think the frame looks great with your fabric.Where did you find/buy it? I'd really love to give this pattern a try. This Christmas I'm making two zippered pouches. Depending on time there might be more. My son returns from deployment in Afghanistan this month so we're helping our DIL and grandson get moved and settled before the happy day arrives!
Thank you for your giveaway and a chance to win. I'm also a new follower.

Love the coin purse, something I have never made....yet. I am busy making lap quilts and potholders, Christmas stockings and baby quilts. I start my sewing time with 2 blocks a charity quilt slowly using some of my stash to make room for new arrivals.
I'm knitting a shawl for my Mum but it's not necessarily for Christmas, she will just get it when it is done!
What a lovely purse! Since we don't celebrate Christmas over here, in The Netherlands, I've been sewing for some Christmas swaps and I might make myself another purse ;-)
Love the purse you have made - lovely materials. Thanks for sharing.
That is a cute little purse. I'm making a table runner, place mats, zippy purses, pencil cases.... If I have enough time! Di x
Christmas sewing - 2 quilts (for the sisters) and a skirt (for a friend), an advent calendar (for me) - ok that's pre-christmas sewing
Love your purse the frame is beautiful. I am knitting cowls for Christmas presents.
Love the purse as it is. I'm making one baby quilt, knitting a cowl for my daughter, and a QAYG knitting bag for a friend. Probably won't have enough time to make any more than this!
Lovely, I have some of that fabric! I am making stuff for our home this year, and will try to also make a little something for my family and send it over. Oh and some Jam of course for stocking fillers! Thanks for the chance to win!
Looks gorgeous - well done. Christmas presents - eeek not really done much thinking about them yet, but both the girls now want purses - funny that!
Hi, I love those purses and will certainly be looking at the pattern and frames. At the moment I am making Anja Townrow book covers for little gifts for my daughter and daughters-in-law for Xmas plus Advent calenders for new grandaughter and friends children 4of them to take to Scotland on
21st November! Great blog site. will be popping in from time to time.
Hi Amy... What a busy girl you are... I plan to make Zippy pouches, a Tote bag, Baby Quilt and a hanging case to display my sons numerous pairs of glasses.. But I have to design that as well first... Yikes a big list... Better get sewing.. x
I love the coin purse.
Thanks for the chance to win.

Very very nice. I have some of that chair fabric and one frame left. Hmmm...maybe...
A wall hanging, a cross stitched project which I will frame, some Santa Christmas decorations, and a child's quilt.
Beautiful fabric choise, great purse!
I´m going to make some coinpurses for christmasgifts *lol*
Great purse Amy! I love the chair fabric!
I'm making totes and aprons for Christmas!
I love your purse, blue and green are gorgeous together.
I'm still undecided as to whether I'll be making christmas presents this year - I suppose I'd better hurry up and make a decision!!
i haven´t started yet and I don´t know if I maybe should make some christmas presents this year.
But maybe there will be some purses.
Your purse is sew lovely, thanks for sharing
And thank you for a great give away
That chair fabric is just so much fun. Your purse turned out great.
I've made two of these coin purses as Christmas gifts and have knit a ruffle scarf and crocheted some ornaments for Christmas as well.
Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win.

I promised my 2 kids and my son-in-law and son's girlfriend quilts for Christmas...now I am frantically trying to keep my promise! Love your fabrics choices, would love to win!
You already know about my Christmas stockings ... I am feeling less than ho ho ho about them right now! Nice to see you (briefly!) yesterday x
Wonderful purse...I am a silver person more than gold so I think it looks wonderful. I have become an email follower because your blog is wonderful...
cute little purse, maybe we don't see too well but the handle looks fine. I'm working on some potholders and maybe slippers for Christmas. Of course if I finish my quilts they will be under the tree too lol
So cute. Its a great job. Thanks for sharing
I think your purse is beautiful just as it is! I am working on coin purses -- even though I don't know where they'll end up (they're addictive!), and on a small 'throw' quilt for my brother. I am thinking of trying to make an evening-type clutch for my girls, even though I'm not sure if my first efforts will be good enough to gift.
I'm loving all the coin purses I'm seeing from everyone. It's really making me want to try my hand at making some coin purses for christmas gifts (my sister would love a lorax print coint purse!).
For gifts this year I'm trying to make my sister a grinch/lorax quilt (grinch on one side, lorax on the other). I'd also like to make her a grinch christmas stocking.
Good Morning , how sweet of a coin purse...and what will I be doing till the end of the year...wellll I can
t tell you just yet...it is a surprise...wink
Making ruffle scarfs right now - unknown recipients. Lovely little purse. Judy C
I love the little chairs on those purses--great colors, too! I have four minky blankets for my grandsons waiting to have binding added..hopefully they will be ready by Christmas.
Your purse is so cute! I think the frame looks just fine, but they do make silver ones.
I'm not sure yet what I will make for gifts! (I'm a little behind!)
Hi!!! Love it!!! I love the blue and green!!!! Thanks for the fun!!!
What a sweet purse!
I'm not making anything this Christmas. This year has been rather trying, for all sorts of reasons, and I just don't have the mental energy to deal with sewing to a deadline at the moment.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway! I do love me some scraps :)
Your purse looks great, but I understand the frustration when you can't quite make reality match your vision. I am planning to make loyalty card wallets, key fobs and pouches for small Christmas presents. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and for the chance to win these delightful goodies!
The coin purse is so cute. Thanks for sharing. I am making some free-standing lace Xmas ornaments for little gifts to give away. Thanks for the opportunity on the draw.

Cute Purse! Love the pop of Kona blue. I actually need some zippers for some little purses that I am making for my SIL Christmas present and I'm also making a table runner for my mom.
Love the purse, I really want to make some of these, but I just need to get some time and get my head around it! For Christmas, I'm making some bags for friends kids, i'm not putting too much pressure on myself this year for pressies! Ange : )
What great fabric--such fun for a coin purse. Thanks for sharing.
I love the fabric you used to make the sweet little purse. I have a lot of Christmas projects in the works. This week has been Christmas stockings.
I just signed up to follow after looking over some of your previous posts. I loved your little snowman and the scrap panel.
Lovely purse!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful purse. I have that fabric as well, in multiple colours! Thanks for the lovely giveaway. I'm actually making bags and purses for Christmas this year!
I am making a bunch of things for xmas presents including some stockings, pillow, a wall hanging, and a lap quilt. I am glad I started nearly a month ago :)
i'm making some zip pouches, infinity scarves, and fabric houses (ala scandinavian stitches book). thanks!
Love your little purses. I am crocheting shrugs for my daughters and making a book bag for my son-in-law. Might make my hubs a shirt, not sure yet.
mine had to be sent to uk so I've already made scarf, felt wreath, placemats, bigger placemat and I want to make some stuff for us too :)
Hi Amy! I'm making a duffle bag for my younger niece, some pot holders for my sister, a purse for my cousin, a mugrug for my husband (I'm really tired of hearing his wooden coaster hit the floor when it sticks to his cup!), and a "mondo" pillow via one of the Sew, Mama, Sew tuturials from last week. :) I'm sure I'll decide to make some other stuff as well, if time doesn't get me! lol
I'm making a few more coin purses for my daughters, and origami patchwork napkin ring for christmas dinner

Precious little purses! I am making lap quilts, wall hangings, dolls, pillowcases for the girls from Zakka book, ornaments,and more
I'm hoping to make some of these purses and pencil cases so the zips will come in very handy !
Your purse is great. I probably will be making more purses for Christmas gifts after all the ideas I got on the blog hop so far. My day to show my purses is tomorrow.
I'm also making pajamas for my daughter, grandson, husband and someone else.
Fresh and happy perfectly describes your delightful coin purse, Amy! I know what you mean about the silver frame, but I still like the fancy one you used.
Thanks so much for being a part of the hop.
UR Priceless!

I am making my son a stocking, I finished all the stitching, I started in April and worked daily on a counted cross-stitch design from 1993. I still need to sew it up. I'm also making my husband his own quilt b/c I'm terrible about hogging the covers.
Fawn
Sweet little purse. I am a follower. I am trying to make a bed quilt for my Mom.
Thanks for sharing and the opportunity to win.
I think your little purse is just perfect.
thanks for the giveaway and for sharing.
Lovely coin purse! What will I be making? I am aiming to make 2 table runners, a pouch, and a laptop cover/carrier. Will I get this all done? I highly doubt it!
I feel like my sewing list could be put to the Twelve Days of Christmas and sung...I'm making bags for my daughter to give her middle school friends, flannel jammies for the girls, a Christmas quilt, several zipper make-up style bags, and I'm trying to decide which other gifts I can make and help our somewhat slim budget out by using what I can. The great thing is that my family and friends love receiving homemade gifts so it's wonderful to work with an appreciative audience! (Oh, and these aren't sewing but jam and English toffee, too!) pbstrand@msn.com
I like your coin purse, and I think the frame looks fine. For Christmas I am making mug rugs,wall hangings, and other bits and pieces. Thank you for the giveaway.
GREAT purse! I've just bought the pattern on the strength of it!!
I've just started working on a fabric santa, plus I plan to make one of my granddaughters an apron and some kid size oven gloves, as she's a really keen cook and only 10, bless her. If I have enough time I then plan to make THE PURSE for my daughter and all 3 granddaughters, and maybe even a skirt for the Christmas tree. Not much to do then!! Lol.
Judi
Love it! Make sure you add it to Laurie Wisburn's flickr page--she'll want others to see this beauty!
*3 cheers*!
OH, and, um, I am making 6 Amy Butler sling bags for Christmas gifts--crazy! Btu a fab stash buster!
Like the material you've used for your little purse. Let's have a seat and sit a while. Am not working on my Christmas sewing yet, but soon! Thanks for sharing.
I think you did a great job!
I have not started to make Xmas presents yet! Thanks for the chance to win!
Rosemary B here:
Your blue and green purse is so wonderful I love chairs :-D
I adore the fabric you chose.
Well... Christmas projects *sigh* I am so behind in everything. I may just do gift cards this year :-( I know that is lame, but I will put them in some of these purses I made!! yay
I love what you have for a give away!! I love the fabric and the zippers!!
Thank you for sharing your creativity
Beautiful purses. Thanks for having a give away.
I am making travel pillows and want to make some of these little purses also.
I'm feeling selfish this year. I don't have a sewing machine, so everything takes ages, and then my sister announced she was pregnant earlier this year and I put my quilt on hold for 4 months while I sewed a quilt for my new niece. I'm planning on sewing a few more bibs for the baby, but otherwise I want to sew stuff to brighten up the unfurnished flat I'm about to move into. I'm going from renting a room in a shared house to having lots of space to decorate with fabric, and it's going to be a while til I can afford enough furniture!
I make ornaments every year and this year my mother in law will get a cross stitched lighthouse.
I do love your little purse; fabrics and colors are wonderful. I have a Christmas stocking and a pirate hat (for a grandchild) to make. Usually I make lots more but this year I had other projects in the works.
Your coin purse is very cute and the colours are great! I'm makeing three quilts for Christmas gifts. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am making several pincushions for holiday gifts.
LOL Why, I'm making coin purses, of course! Giggle!
Love your purse, and I think the frame is perfect....don't stress about the silver cos it looks wonderful as it is! Great job!

I broke my ankle nine days ago and my Christmas crafting came to a screeching halt. Now I'm thinking more about printables--recipes, "this book belongs to" stickers, things like that. Some years are memorable for all the wrong reasons. :)
