This and That

I'm still cutting out Oriental Tiles.  Lots of pieces.  All I can show so far is the fabric I've chosen:

Last night, my good friend Sally H. showed me the basics of beaded fringe.  I made a simple flat bag to practice on.  It's only about six inches wide but the fringe took three hours.  I still need to add a strap and probably a little embellishment on the flap.
