The Last of the Market Projects

Here's the last of the pictures relating to Market.  I didn't have time to stage things for photos before sending them off but I think you can get a good feel for some of the things I made for Jane's booth.  Everything from birds to bags to table runners.  And all of it great fun to make.
The Anywhere Bag had to make an appearance.  The polka dot ribbon was the perfect trim for this one.
Well, what about that...more polka dot ribbon on the Note Pad Holder.
And again on this one.  There seems to have been a theme at work here.
I also played around with a new bag in a 50's style.  A pattern will follow for this one.  Hopefully, by the end of the year.
This table runner turned out even better than I expected.  I didn't get a picture after I added all the buttons, unfortunately.  But you can certainly see how the dots and white solid make the fussy cut squares come to life.  The buttons were just the icing on the cake.
And that's most everything I have pictures of, though certainly not all that was accomplished. I hope you forgive me for not having more pictures.  But if you follow Jane's blog you are likely to see some of it featured now and then.

Thanks for all your encouragement during the crazy Market preparation and adventure.  Maybe now we can get back to the regular craziness that is 100 Billion Stars.

  1. Such wonderful bags brought to life with beautiful fabrics. And polka dots!! That table runner is really something special! I stumbled upon Jane Sassaman talking about Early Birds on YouTube. It was lovely to watch and hear her thoughts on her designs.
