CQJP2012


                    This is my first attempt at crazy quilting and
at making a purse with a clasp.


I decided I needed to have something that was me in the design.  I am a big time beach comber and I love to salt water bay fish with my husband.  Nothing like it when your out early in the morning and watching the birds and the calmness of the water or watching a beautiful sunset on the water.

This is my AAHA design.

I love to crochet.  I took a trip up to Nebraska to see my daughter and kept sane in the 15 hour drive by crocheting many things.


This is my attempt at making the spiders that Kathy Shaw did a tutorial on her website for.  Here is the link to the spider on her website  http://www.shawkl.com/2011/09/beaded-spider-tutorial.html

I don't like the way a chain feels on a purse so I was trying to come up with a different shoulder strap.  I just wish I didn't put the larger beads on it.  I was hoping they would keep the chain of beads from moving around but they still move around.
