Tula Pink Grosgrain Ribbon

I got some Renaissance Ribbons from i heart tula pink in the mail today (which I ripped open like a rabid dog), which is an on-line retailer that sells only Tula Pink fabrics, patterns, ribbon, and limited edition quilt backings and kits.

I'm presenting to you my entry for the A Lemon Squeezy Home purse contest that I first mentioned here. Yep, it's hot off the presses, just took it off my sewing machine. It's a Christmas gift, so hopefully the recipient passes over my post, since it's a surprise. :-) I don't think I'll win, but I wanted to get...
