Nancy Drew Blog Hop. My Day!

Welcome to my blog! It`s my day to share my project featuring Nancy Drew. Most of us of a certain age have read the Nancy Drew Mysteries or watched the movies. I want to thank Madam Samm , the phenom with the great Blog Hop imagination and Carol from Just Let Me Quilt, our fabulous coordinator.


The Nancy Drew fabrics are Moda. I used  charm pack squares for the front and back of my bag. The bag bottom is made with yardage from my stash. It has that "dark and stormy night look" and I thought it fit in with the theme. The straps and interior are made with Nancy Drew red yardage . The bag measures 12" x 12" and the straps are 22 inches.

I encourage you to visit the bloggers listed below. They also have great projects to share and some are having Giveaways.

Thank you!

    Cute bag! I love how the "dark stormy night" fabric "weights" the bag--I don't know if that makes sense. Looks great though!

    Cute bag but look at the scenery you have to display it in!! I have a friend from BC Canada that would happily retire to AZ, at least some of the time. When the grandkids start arriving she may be changing her mind, LOL.
