The Stitch Poet

I was on the phone today catching up with one of my favorite designers, Champagne Maker. Yes, that is really her name. Her first name is "Champagne" and she married a man with the last name "Maker". Truthfully. We had tried to get her at Purl Jam, but by the time I had to go to print and open registration, we still had not been able to nail anything down definitively. So we will have her Trunk Show with patterns and yarn to buy in the vendor room during the Retreat. Best I could do, alas. Since chatting with her, I've been overcome with a burning desire to make two of her bags...This Southend Hobo, cute!



And this one for obvious reasons...OBAMA Key to change Bag!





I'll start as soon as I get the patterns. Love! Who can have too many handbags? Not I!
