My finished Rag Quilt Purse!

Well here is my finished product! Washed and handles added. It not perfect by any means but I'm happy with the way it turned out. I made two of these to give away for Christmas Gifts. I was thinking I might add coffee related products inside the bag. Two gifts in one! I'm definitely making more but I have to take a break before my family kills me. lol :)
Love to hear your thoughts.

Rough Draft of my Rag Quilt Purse

Well, I got so excited to share this with you that I just had to post a picture! I haven't attatched the handles or washed it yet but will post a new picture this afternoon when its completed. So what do you think? Of course I was inspired by Angie from Chic n Scratch who is totally amazing! I would love to hear your thoughts so don't leave without sharing.
TaTa for now. :)

My first attempt Ever to Sew!

Well Angie from Chic N Scratch has inspired me to try and make a rag quilt purse. I"m so excited to try this but I have never ever sewn before so this should be really interesting. I bought my fabric and have it all cut and ready for sewing. My neighbor Penny is coming over tomorrow night to teach me how to sew using her sewing machine. How nice is that?! I'm hoping to make a few and give them as Christmas gifts this year, so wish me luck and if it turns out half way decent I will post a picture here this weekend. Stay tuned.... :)

Definition of Gossip

I thought it would be interesting to share the definition of Gossip today. So often feelings get hurt and things get misinterpreted because of incorrect facts.

1.
idle talk or rumor, esp. about the personal or private affairs of others: the endless gossip about Hollywood stars.
2.
light, familiar talk or writing.
3.
Also, gos⋅sip⋅er, gos⋅sip⋅per. a person given to tattling or idle talk.
4.
Chiefly British Dialect. a godparent.
5.
Archaic. a friend, esp. a woman.
–verb (used without object)
6.
to talk idly, esp. about the affairs of others; go about tattling.
–verb (used with object)
7.
Chiefly British Dialect. to stand godparent to.
8.
Archaic. to repeat like a gossip.
Origin: bef. 1050; ME gossib, godsib(be), OE godsibb, orig. godparent, equiv. to god God + sibb related; see sib1 Related forms:
gos⋅sip⋅ing⋅ly, adverb
Synonyms:1. small talk, hearsay, palaver, chitchat. Gossip, scandal apply to idle talk and newsmongering about the affairs of others. Gossip is light chat or talk: to trade gossip about the neighbors. Scandal is rumor or general talk that is damaging to reputation; it is usually more or less malicious: The town never lived down the election scandal. 3. chatterer, talker, gabbler, rumormonger. 6. chatter, prattle, prate, palaver.
