Crazy Quilted Bag and exhibitions

I called this piece The Crazy Bag Lady because it was such a mad dash to finish before a deadline. What a wild rush!  Now that I'm calmer I'm rethink the title, so you may see this piece with a new name in the future.
I hope you enjoy the photos of the front, back and all the sides.
Materials: cottons, silks, velvets, lace and upholstery materials.  Some pieces old others new, some hand dyed and some commercial.
Embellishments: beads, lace, rick-rack, buttons, silk ribbon, cording, floss and various threads.
Techniques: machine pieced and hand embroidery and fancy stitched.
Making the background.
Working on the front.
Embroidery and embellishments.
Making the lining.  I added a small pocket and label on the inside before finishing.
Finished size 9.5X11.5X2.5

This piece will be on display at Love Field  Airport in Dallas Texas, September 2024.

I hope everyone is having a beautiful and creative day!!
