I made a clutch

That word "clutch" is such an odd word. It just seems wrong to call something so pretty such an odd word. But, here it is

I used an Alexander Henry fabric for the outside called Canyon Path. It's one of the fat quarters that I received in the FQ swap at the summit. The lining is Egg Dots from Hoodie's Collection for Blank Quilting. I followed this super easy tutorial from OCD that was featured on the Moda Bake Shop site.
The tutorial is easy to follow and I am excited to start playing with more shapes for the bag part of the clutch. I ordered the clutch frames from this Etsy store. They are super high quality and they came in a package of 5, so you know I will be making more of these for gifts. There is minimal sewing involved and then you glue the pouch into the frame. That was a little tricky, but with practice I think it will get easier. I used Gutermann's glue that I also ordered from the same Etsy site.
So I hope Debi likes this little clutch. We are having dinner with she and her husband tonight to celebrate hers and Mr. Romance's October birthdays.

A while ago I won an Aurifil thread sampler from Felicity's blog. You all know I am an Aurifil convert so I am excited to try some of the different weights in the sampler. There is a wool thread in it that is a beautiful turquoise color. Now won't that be fun to try? And look at that variegated thread...pretty cool, huh? I can see where collecting spools full of different colored thread could be as addictive as collecting fabric.

Thanks for stopping by,
