A big thank you to Madame Samm for such a lovely pattern and clear instructions, and to Katherine for all her time to get us all organised.
When I've made purses before, I used the frames for gluing, so I was a bit nervous about the stitched in method. I needn't have worried, it was all plain sailing.
I made the orange version first, then was straight on the lookout for the next one.
I used the fabric leftover from the Lynette Anderson quilt.
This pattern is perfect for using up small pieces of fabric and batting, and you end up with something perfect for gifts. I have bought some more frames, and have the fabric chosen for two more purses. I have two more to choose fabric for.
If you would like to make some yourself, Madame Samm is very kindly offering the pattern for sale, just contact her at madamesamm@me.com, with coin purse as the subject.

Lovely! I was afraid of the sewn in method myself, but the hardest part was choosing the floss.
Well done.
Super cute little purses. You did a perfect job of attaching the clasp. Those have holiday gifts written all over them!
Very cute. Love the colors you picked. I think stitching would be easier than the gluing.
They are beautiful! I'm not in the Hop but I bought the pattern and made a few, too, and also found the technique difficult at first. But I love this project and I already want to make more! :)
These are wonderful! I can certainly see these as great gifts for my daughters and girlfriends. I am going to have to go buy this pattern for sure.
