...and whle we're on the subject of purses...

Another friend, Keely Benkey-Reichman, has made many purses for me over the years using her own fabric as well as fabric that I've supplied.  Here are a few samples:

 

This was a custom purse.  Four of us went to NYC in the fall one year, so Keely made four slightly different purses with red and black fabric, New York scenes and nuns, for the guest of honor.

 

 

I supplied the vintage fabric for this purse.  It features "rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief" and Keely created the "thief" on the front to complete this great purse.

 

 

A very retro science fiction fabric purse.
