\"card<\/a>This morning I was talking to my sister and mentioned that I really did need a new case for the cards I carry in my purse. After our chat, I went to a lecture presentation at “my” quilt shop, Quiltique<\/a>. Guess what the lecture was about! Talk about perfect timing — we had a demonstration on making a cute little card case designed by Pickle Pie <\/a>— unfortunately, the design isn’t available except as part of a collection\u00a0through Bernina dealers. However, as a bonus for the lecture, we were given this single design that we could personalize with an initial — lucky for me!<\/p>\n

\"card<\/a>I came right home and made it, making only one little change. It uses a strip of elastic as a closure, and none of us today thought that looked very nice. However, one of the ladies came up with the idea of covering the elastic with a casing, so that’s what I did. I love working with cork, too, and this is a combination of cork and cotton fabrics. I’ve already added some cards (see them peeking out?) and put it into my purse!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
