~*Pat Winter*~ One of my favorite crazy quilting artist friends.

Pat Winter, sent me a gorgeous handmade art purse

as a surprise gift for Christmas last year!

I finally had a chance to snap some photos of it in the sunlight-

It is even prettier in person!

            

                                  Aren't the details gorgeous?

       She dyes the ribbons and laces herself!  The colors are so vibrant and rich.

                                         

  I just love the delicate silk embroidery,

                                                               the variety of stitches,

Pat Winter makes magic happen with her hands!!!

I am such a fan of hers!!!
