Homesteads and Heritages is a unique bag made from a vintage colonial print I found at an antique store.The flap has different fabric pieces sewn together making a quilt-like look.
Under the flap is a beautiful embroidered piece from a tablecloth purchased at the same antique store. My friend Cheryl gave me the rusty orange, and green and white check fabric that I needed to compliment the vintage pieces.The front has a large pocket divided in three, made from the barn on the fabric- just perfect.
I just had to use the majestic eagle and so he is flying at the top of the back of the bag.Below are two pockets, the cell pocket had a perfect spot for a fancy rhinestone button.
The lining has 3 pockets across it and one small one with a cute button for extra decoration.All the piecing was time consuming, but worth the effort for a fun creation.

Okay Jillybean, I won't try to outbid my own daughter....sure is a pretty bag though....Mom from Bend
I was going to take a couple more pictures because the front of the bag looks washed out -- it is a lovely sage green. The back of the bags picture is not very clear, but it seems like you gals are going for it anyway! Thanks for the great comments. Wow Jill, can you believe I can do funky!!! Zaza's Grandma, Grace
I've seen this bag in real life. It is a beautiful green. The photo of the front of the bag makes it look gray. The photo of the back of the bag on the white chair shows the true green color.
Also, Mom said it in passing, but in the photo where the book is shown, ALL those yellow flowers under the flap and hand-made embroidery. It is fabulous.

Ah, that was sweet Lala. You will be the BEST big sister. Well you already are, but it will be better with a lil sis.
And I stand corrected. Mom called me today to tell me that the yellow embroidered flowers are machine done. Sorry.
