These are my latest creations, the top right is called "rain forest", the bottom is called "Brazilian summer set". These fabrics were sent to me by my friends in Brazil, Carol Grillo and Fa Giandoso. The challenge for me was to take the Brazilian fabric and mix it with my own stash and create something special. I had a great time doing this. I let the fabric tell me what the idea for the pouch would be.

What a gorgeous blog, Frances! I absolutely love these creations! I particularly like the toucan one. We saw some toucans in the jungles of Guatemala one time, and they were gorgeous!
