Today we’re welcoming Emily from Strawberry Patch Quilts. I met Emily in the Modern Stitching Bee and she makes such pretty things, and always uses great fabrics. I especially love the Rose Star Quilt she made, both for the hand piecing and the color combo {you can see it here, and below as well}. Emily also has a quilting studio for hire {with quilting frame}, I sure wish I could just hop over to the UK and visit for a while. I hope you enjoy her pretty inspiration!

I am so excited to be a part of this great Summer series: A Season By Hand. Thanks to Jennie and Clara for having me over!
Handwork is something I am really passionate about, with having two small children its really important to me to have something ready to grab and go, so I can sew and de-stress where ever I am. I bet we can all relate to that somehow!
I love love love English Paper Piecing and have worked on several projects (with several more in the works!) Which is why I love my handwork purse, it is the perfect size to take out and pop into a handbag, always loaded up and ready to go.
Frame purses are really cute, they make great gifts filled with treats and are surprisingly simple to make. Head on over to my blog and I’ll show you how to make one too!
That purse is very pretty, I’ve not made a frame purse yet!
A very cute purse! I’ve never attempted a frame purse… I think it’s the gluing that scares me!
So cute! Maybe one of these days I’ll buy a frame so I can make one. They are still a little intimidating, though!
I haven’t made one either, they are a little intimidating – heading over to check out your tutorial!
A frame purse is on my to do list, I have 24 Sun Bonnet Sue’s to make and assemble before I take on too many more projects.
All so beautiful especially your rosé star quilt.
Wow such beautiful projects! Love the idea of embellishing items with epp hexies!
super cute purse! I also love hexies! Thanks for sharing.
The colour combination of that purse is simply yummy!:D
I am really enjoying your Season by Hand series! Thanks for hosting it!!
I adore your frame purse Emily! Your Rose Star quilt and the pillow are also beautiful! I just discovered the wonderful world of EPP and am completely hooked. I find handwork very relaxing too. Thank you!
I have never made a frame purse, maybe now is the time! Really loving the mix of sewing inspiration in the series.
I want to make a frame purse, but have SO many other projects to do first! You’re wearing me down though. 🙂
Very sweet projects! Love the purse too.

I’ve never made a frame purse before, will head over to look at your tutorial now!
I love the frame purse. i really want to try my hand at making one1
I do want to start a hand sewing bag that’s ready to grab and run. Seems I think of it too late and don’t have my supplies handy. A special bag would be perfect.
Love the frame purse…so sweet. I’ve never sew a frame purse before but looking at her tutorial makes me want to give a try! Thanks for sharing:)

I just love your projects! Great fabric and color choices!
