Some more finishes

Heart #44 , free to a good home.
Heart #45, also looking for a good home.
and I finally got to finish some of those bags. They have turned out pretty cute. The blocks were 8", so they are quite a good size. First time doing fabric handles, they turned out well, and evenly spaced - whoop whoop. Hope to get to the others tomorrow. If you are a kiwi, and read the blog, how much would you pay for one of these? (Hi to Meggie, ex-pat). I don't want to charge less than $40. Each bag would have at least 4-5 hours work in it, and I would think about $15 in materials. My girlfriend wants to do the local, up-market, craft market next month, so I'll see how I go there, then the rest up to SILs. I'm thinking of doing some kids activity bags too, hoping people will see them as great gifts.

I love the bags. They should do well at a craft market, I would think. Hard to pick just one, though!

The hearts are great, too. That second one looks like a smocking stitch on the bottom, almost. I love them both.

Beautiful bags. It's so difficult to put a price on something that has so much time and care put into it. I used to make felt toys in Australia and sold them at a craft market and never felt like I was charging enough!

Lovely purses. Is it one purse for each outfit?
And I do certainly have to make new/more heats to swap. Yours are beautiful.
