Key Keeper Coin Purse--Completed and 2 Winners!

This month, we completed the Key Keeper Coin Purse and I must say, it was the fastest one with a zipper to complete!  It's a cute little bag to hold some tiny items.  It is a popular item at our home--as soon as I finished it, my daughter grabbed it and put some toys in it!  I allowed it for 2 days, then, I confiscated back my bag.

 

Here it is:

 

and here it is with June's bag:

 

There were almost 20 participants this month, I thought that there would be more because the bag is so small.

 

Highlights:

 

This team has made more than one!  I thought that I would have, too, but so far, I have not.

 

Marci Girl's bags are always bright, cheery, and so pretty to me!

 

 

Emily's purse has a suede for the band, definitely different and cute--that print reminds me of ikat a little.

 

Knitaly.Cristiana's key keeper is so flipping sweet!

And here is a bag from a first time submitter, Sam!  I love this!

 

I'm so excited that people are doing the challenge and I love to see new people join!  I love you oldies, too (I sometimes notice when regulars do not participate)!  Also, I noticed that people are still submitting bags from past months and I love it, too!

Congratulations on making your bag, everyone!  We are done with 7 months already!  Big pats on the back (or butt), have a scoop of ice cream for breakfast!

 

For July, The Style Stitches Monthly Bag Challenge 2011 sponsors were:

Congratulations, ladies!  

Now, you must SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO CLAIM YOUR GIFT CERTIFICATE.  The first person who sends me a message gets to pick first, the second person gets the alternative gift certificate.  You can reply to this post if you like, but you must send me a separate e-mail to claim your prize.

Congrats to everyone who made a bag for the challenge, told someone about the challenge, or both!

 

A very big thank you to our July sponsors!

Woo hoo! Congrats to the winners! And, again, thanks so much for hosting this fun challenge, Jemellia! :)

Thanks!  Will you make the bag for August? I will post about it tomorrow.

I made mine two weeks ago but haven't for the life of me been able to find my cord thingy to download photos from my camera! I am never late to anything, sad face.

[Samantha Ward]

Wow!! Thanks for posting my bag! I have already started thinking about next month's challenge.

[Marci Girl]

Congrats to the winners! Thanks so much for including my little bag in such a group of lovely entries! I always love seeing how diverse everyone's turn out!

Gah! I'm sorry I didn't participate this month, Jemellia!. It would've been really handy because I've had quite a few coins jangling around in my purse (I usually never carry cash or coins). I had family visit, started a new job, and moved. Oh yes, that's right. Maria's in Nompton! Woot woot! Anyway, I have all the supplies for this little one and August's bag, so I've just got to get in gear.

btw- I LOVE knitaly's bag. It's too sweet!

I congratulate the winner! I would like to send a picture out of game about my "Key Keeper Coin Purse", what is your e-mail adress?

[Jemellia]

I was wondering about you! I knew that you were moving, too. Find that cord thingy!

[Jemellia]

I hope that you do it! I really like your little bag!

[Jemellia]

Do I live in Nompton? Let's sew together sometime! I work at OK Quiltworks on Tuesdays in OKC, you should go there.
