Sunday Sampler of Needlepoint purses

 I received a beautiful purse this past holiday . My son said it reminded  him of my needlepoint projects. It would  have really caught my eye as well as it has a bargello-type print and is  unique.   I love the chunky tortoiseshell strap contrasts beautifully with the print. It is unexpected and the overall effect is  polished and  coordinated.
.

Here is a sampling of beautiful purses stitched by talented customers.

Mindy design

   This design is complemented by the cloth handles and rings. Any of us would love to carry this beautiful purse. 

Oriental designs

   Small bag to carry with a patent leather  strap. It is perfect for an evening out.

 Butterfly design

  Another great design from Melissa Shirley finished with a rich brown leather.
  

   
Geometric design

   A customer liked an eyeglass case she made so well, she stitched
this coordinating clutch.

 Laurel Burch design

     Purple is this customer's favorite color, so this fun design became a
small purple tote.

So when you are looking at your stash pieces, do not only think of finishing them as a framed piece or pillow-think purse or tote !
