Welcome to UR Priceless
blog hop-day #3
blog hop-day #3
The brilliant and talented Madame Samm has done it again.
Another incredible blog hop!
She has also enlisted a fantastic cheerleader in
Katherine who blogs at
Sew Me Something Good.
Today, I am going to show you the coin purses I made using the pattern provided by
Madame Samm.
You can purchase the pattern here.
I have made glue in framed purses in the past...
but this is my first attempt at the
sew in variety.
So, I boughtone, two,...okay...more than 3, but less than 10!
The first one I did as a "practice" sample before doing the actual one!!
However, it went together without any problems!
I used orange perle cotton for the sew-in part, and I must admit, it was not an easy thing for me....nor is it very pretty inside!
I know I'll be taking it apart resewing the frame!
But I decided to try another one...
I cut out my pretty fabric... and look at that cute frame!
Well, the sew-in went so much better on this one, and it helped that the purple perle cotton I used was the same shade as the lining!
The third frame I had was larger than the first two...somewhere around 3.5"
So, I drew out my own pattern for this one.
I also used this amazing tap transfer paper to make my own design on the fabric!!
Since it is a coin purse, I used photos of our colourful Canadian money!
I plan to try it again someday!
and I might even cut it out with the printing going in the right direction :-)
don't judge me! I'm flawed! ;-) ;-)
Oh yeah!
Loving this one too!
and look! no stitches showing on the inside!
I really love the copper colour of the frame too!
There are so many gorgeous frames available, and in every shape and size you could imagine.
These are very addictive, but Christmas is coming!
The perfect gift for friends and family, or a hostess gift!
Now, if you have gotten through the whole post to this point....I'm going to have a little giveaway! This giveaway is now closed! Thank you!
How about an open wide zippered pouch! I used the grey bottom to offset the
seizure inducing colours on the top!
I'll stuff it with 4 fat quarters of Marguerite by Riley Blake.

Oh, Patti, your coin purses are fantastic! Great fabric combinations and I love your fancy frames. So cool that you made the money design on fabric - perfect for a coin purse.
Thanks so much for being a part of the hop.

I haven't tried the transfer paper yet but now I'm inspired to dig it out and use it! Great little purses you've made. I hope mine turn out as pretty!
Patti, these are great, I thinkim so late in the purse craze . . . I'm awed by everyone's fab creations!
I like your purses - the transfer paper sounds very interesting and I love the frames the you found. My purses debuted on yesterday's schedule and I do intend to make some more.
Your coin purses are delightful I am getting the impression hat if I make one I will need a few practices first. Or 5 or 6! They do look gorgeous.
I have made the little purses but I still have more ideas so I want to make more!
I am a follower.
Lovely, lovely purses. And yes, I have done these. I too am blogging and hopping.
These are lovely, well done for trying again and improving! I've made the glue in purses before and have now done the sew in ones for this blog hop - loved them both!
Love your coin purses! I have to give that Tap product a try!
I hadn't really planned on making coin purses until seeing all the lovelies on this blog hop! Now I think I'm going to have to try it.

I am planning to try these, I'm just wanting to find the closures for less than $5.00 each. I'd like to find a big lot of them so that I can make a bunch of them LOL.
I've always wanted to try framed purses but I am SCARED! Lol

Your purses all turned out great. Love that you made your own fabric for the Canadian money one and what could be more appropriate for a coin purse.

Hi!! I am a follower and thanks for the fun!!!!

Very cute purses! I'll have to try that transfer paper.
Such cute purses...

Love the Canadian money purse- that was so cute (the tech nique is interesting too-)
Have made two of Madame Samm's purses, both are my first attempts at purse frames and it certainly gets easies with each try!
I have the frame and fabric, however everything is buried/packed in boxes since we moved last week. Yours are lovely and inspiring. Judy C
I am now officially following you - can't wait to make my own little purse. Judy C
Patti, your coin purses are awesome, luv the orange and the different frames. I have made 2 and want to make more. I'm on the hunt for some of the different frames that are showing up on the blog hop. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing in the hop! Happy stitching!!
I'm a new follower and I did have a very enjoyable visit with you today, I will be visiting often. Thanks for the chance...where is that Canadian snow??
I love your coin purses. They are all so pretty.
Fantastic coin purses, I really like the Canadian currency (nice touch) :)
As for trying this craze out, you'd better believe I am (my first frame order has yet to arrive and it's been 6 weeks) just as soon as my second order, from Canada, arrives!
I've been following in your snowy footprints:)
ps: I've got more snow up in Marcelin!
You did such a lovely job on your little purses - SO nice!
All of them are great, and yes, I do plan to make one or two, I'm scheduled to be on the last day of the blog hop, but I haven't sewn mine yet....
These are great little purses. ..and so brave sitting out in the snow! Yes, I do want to try making some of these..just have to get the stuff!!
Great purses! I'd love to try one - another blogger has given me a link to an etsy source of frames!
and yes, I am a follower!
I'm a happy follower!
All your purses are so cute. Maybe I consider doing one purse, now that I´ve seen all the nice purses in this bloghop :)

They are all adorable. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous purses. I am seriously thinking of making a few for Christmas. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity on your draw.
bonnielarson58@gmail.com
I'd like to try to make a coin purse but I honestly can't get to any new projects until June of next year. I always plan too many and the ones for early next year actually have deadlines.
Fawn
Your little coin purses are so cute. Your copper colored frame is wonderful. I plan on making a few more for Christmas gifts.
Super cute coin purses. I had trouble with the stitches showing too but oh well I just made a few more.
I'm a follower.
beautiful work. I love the drawing as well. thanks for the chance to maybe win. we will be getting snow on Friday.
~a
love the larger purse, but then they are all adorable
I will have to give these purses a try. Nice job!
I am now following you. Come see me at Kwilty Pleasures Blog!
I had never tried a sew in one before either. I was one of the day one people and had a right time trying to get mine into the frame.
beautiful purses and great pictures! Snow!! YIKES!
Your purses are fantastic. I am planning on making a framed purse. I just need to jump in and do it. Christmas??? I think these would make great gifts.
I love the larger purse with the chain!! VERY nice...all of them!
Great little purses. Love the coin one. Thanks for the link. I am a new follower. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Your little purses are darling. You have done a great job.
HAPPY TO FOLLOW YOU!

HI! YES, I'VE MADE ONE IN BLUE 'BAREFOOT ROSES' FABRIC FOR MY DAUGHTER. THINK I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COUPLE MORE TOO. THANKS FOR SHARING!
msstitcher1948@yahoo.com
Loved your purses - especially that coin one! I have 6 frames so I better get to work. I've gotten lots of inspiration already. :) blessings, marlene
Wow -- these are all really CUTE! I like the variety of handles you used, too. Where'd you get them? Anyplace special? I've made one ... but I certainly *do* plan on making more! :)
And I'm a new follower! :)
lovely work thanks for sharing!
After seeing all these adorable creations on the blog hop, I think I must make some for Christmas!! Just too cute!! Thanks so much for sharing and for the chance to win such a great prize pack!
I loved the yellow interior of the last purse, but kinda partial to purple. I also am direction-ally challenged. Even when I try to get things right side up, I spend lots of time ripping it out to re-arange.
Okay I confess.....I ordered 5 frames! After seeing all these beautiful coin purses I may need more! Thank you for some great inspiration. And thank you for the chance to win a fabulous prize!
I am now a follower. I can't wait to see what else you have in store to share!
I have 2 frames and the pattern! I will order more frames this week for sure! They will make great Christmas presents! Thanks for this giveaway!
I am a follower!
Your purses are lovely! Like you I have only used glue-in frames so will definitely have to give the sew-in ones a try.
I am a follower too :)
Love your versions of the coin purse.
I bought the pattern and one frame (to start). I'm in the process of trying to decide which of my beautiful cotton fabrics I will use. I think making the fabric choice is going to be the hardest part of this project.
Love your purses and I especially like the Canadian coin purse. I think the fabric is just perfect, When I'm shaking the purse to check for fabric money the words are upright.;)
I love the yellow lining on your last little purse. All your purses are so cute!!
I was in this blog hop, so I made several of these little purses. They ARE addictive!
I'm a new follower!
I'm a new follower. I briefly looked around your blogs and your items are beautiful.
Love your wee purses! That Canuck money fabric is awesome,,I've never seen it before. Thanks for sharing with us all.
I'm a happy new follower!
i would love to try to make one thanks
i am a follower of your blog
I love ALL your purses!! I made a few coin purses -- slightly different pattern (doesn't have the cute bottom, lol) -- they are on my blog. And once I saw the first day of the Hop, I bought the UR Priceless pattern and can't wait to make more. But now that I've see yours, I want to make all sizes!
I am a (new) follower!
First, I want to say I'm a new follower and that I love the name of your blog!!! lol Fits me, too. :)
All 3 of your coin purses are wonderful. Looks like you've had lots of great practice with all the other purses you've made. I love that bright yellow print for the lining. Thank you for sharing with us all and for a chance to win a giveaway. I'm looking forward to more great blogging entries.
Great job! I will have to try these some time. Thanks for the great giveaway!
your purses are gorgeous and YES I want to sew more purses, so much fun.
Liebe Grüße
Bente
Patti, your coin purses look wonderful! I love the Canadian money on transfer paper. I'll have to get some of that paper. I do plan to make some after seeing so many cute purses.
I'm a new follower :-)
Thanks for the giveaway.
I will definatly try my hand at one of these. That fabric fussy cut will make perfect purses.
Lots of cuteness going on! Was the last one stitched in or glued in? I wondered since you mentioned you couldn't see the stitching. Seems like gluing would be easy....says the gal who has never made one of any kind! :)
Oh and congrats on your nomination!
They are all pretty,but the fabric is just way too cute
I've made some, and I'm going to make more as soon as I get more frames. They are lots of fun to make.
Very nice! I had my day yesterday! So, yes I have dabbled in frames a little :)
Very cute purses, yes I have already bought some frames and have gotten so many ideas from this blog hop. Thanks from a fellow Canadian for sharing
Rosemary B here: I am a follower of yours now. so wonderful your sweet blog
I have never made one of these frame purses before but you are inspiring me to try one with those cute purses you made.
Rosemary B here:
I absolutely love your bags. I adore the handles. Oh I could not pick a favorite.
Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Also thank you for your wonderful give away, that amazing little handcrafted bag filled with fabric wow. so lovely
Thank you for such a delightful blog to read today
I'd never given coin purses a second thought, until this blog hop! Now I'm seriously considering giving one a try. I've never heard of the tap transfer paper...have to check that out. Thanks for sharing.
I am a follower. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
You know, while I love those purses, and just know I have some fabrics that would be perfect for them, I'm trying to be strict with myself and finish up most of my UFO's before I start ANYTHING new.
I'm a follower.
I love your coin purses and the handles are great! Until this blog hop, I'd never made a handled purse like this of any kind and didn't even know about the glue on handles. :-) Well, I can't say that any more since I'm finishing up coin purse #5! Thanks for sharing your creations with us today.
I have been so inspired with the coin purses in this blog hop. Yes, of course I have to try them, and everyone keeps saying how relatively easy they are and what great Christmas gifts they'll make..!
I am a follower!
Those remind me of the purses my mum and aunts used to have when I was growing up. :) I'd like to try making them at some point.

Your little purses are just adorable...got me thinking I should try to make one! Thanks for sharing :o)
I'm a new follower...thanks for the sweet giveaway :o)
They are all really cute. Sweet!
Love your little ones! Thanks for sharing. Yes I do plan to try and make one.
So you've got the bug as well :-)
Great purses!
I'm a very happy follower :-)
your purses are great!! I love that you tried the transfer paper and that you used a bigger size frame! I was part of the blog hop so I have some experience!
I have ordered the pattern and ordered several frames. I am definitely going to make some!
I am loving these coin purses and wishing I had joined this blog hop! You did a great job!
Cute, cute, cute! And I love your sense of humor! lol I had never made either a glue in or a sew in purse before joining up with this blog hop. And I find that they are soooo much fun! Do you like to do the glue in or the sew on type better? I made sure to go back through where I came out with the needle when i was sewing through the lining...so that my stitches didnt show.
Thank you for a chance for your wonderful giveaway!
Blessings & Aloha!
I am at our daughter, son in law, and grandbaby's home visiting, but wanted to stop by and check out the amazing coin purses!
I am now following you at #155 :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
I'd love if you get a chance to follow me back too :o)
Like your purses. And I am not going to try to make them! Thanks for sharing.
I love them but I probably won't make one. I don't think I would use one.

I actually DID make one and it was so much fun! Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win.
I am already a follower....thanks for another chance to win your giveaway. :)
Will I try the coin purse? I'm not brave enough. My plan is to first try one with a zipper like your giveaway. Although I love seeing samples of what I might try sometime in the future.
I am a new follower!
I really do want to try one...great for Xmas presents for sure...so thinking about it!v
I can't think of any girlfriends or female family members who wouldn't be THRILLED to get one of these little purses, so YES, I definitely plan on trying my hand at these.
I'm a regular old follower.
I bought 3 frames today, dont know when I'll get to them maybe next weekend.
i have been meaning to make one, i have 2 small frames, just cant seem to find extra time right now. your little coin purses are adorable. and your give a way is fantastic also. perfect for sewing supplies in the car. thank you
I love the look of these framed purses, remind me of childhood, of my grandmother. I would love to try to make one, but I have not come across the frames yet. Maybe I need to check Ebay and try my hand at one finally.

Really cute coin purses. I'm planning on making at least 2 because the frames I ordered finally arrived on Saturday. If they turn out good I plan to order more.
I am a follower via email newsletter.
How cute are your coin purses. So clever to do one with a picture of your actual coins. I've been following the hop and they seem to be very addictive. I do plan on making some so when I order my frames I know to order more than one, hehe.
Thank you for an awesome giveaway and a chance to win. Your pouch is gorgeous as are the fat quarters!

It's funny to see my Mom commented on this and is making some - I learn something new every day!
I love how yours turned out, the Canadian money is just adorable! I would love to try a sew in one (made a glue in one once) but it's far down on my to do list!
I will not be making one but thanks for the chance!
I would like to make one someday! I love blog hops - I can find fun bloggers to follow.
New follower!
I haven't yet, but would love to make a frame purse. They are so cute!
