There was a time (oh, long time ago!) when my French language was 10 times better than it is now my English. But I did not use it and I forgot probably 90% of what I knew. But this is not an impediment in loving the music of French singer Mylene Farmer.
We are ready for our third trip to Paris to see her in concerts. We have tickets for 3 concerts. I know, you think we are crazy. Are we crazy when visiting Houston Quilt Festival for 3 days ? For me, Mylene and quilting mean the same thing: they make me happy and I think these are the best things in my life. In fact, my love for Mylene is similar with my love for quilting and I really don’t understand how these 2 things came into my life the same time and how both changed my life!
So our Parisian adventure will start in 2 days. This time I did not make a new quilt for Mylene, but, you know, I have 3 sisters! And they all come to Paris. Look what I made for them!

| – large travel bags – |
Do you remember this 1” hexagon bag ?
 |
| I made it for Oana |
 |
| This one is for Nico/ fabric is “Sakura Park” by Moda. |
To finish it faster, I made it with bigger hexagons – 1 1/4”.
Solid fabric turned into quilted fabric – dramatic change!
And an assorted double zippered pouch.
This one with black and white hexies is for Nina; Nina helped me to sew the hexies for all these bags.And the entire black and white thing was her idea. Thank you, M, for the beautiful black and white scraps!
Ugly thick black fabric quilted and turned into beautiful black fabric .
And a small shoulder bag- for Nina as well.
I could not help myself and added a little color…
And a matching double zippered pouch for each large bag.
Which one do you like most ?
I am partial – I like mine :), the one without hexagons but in fabulous (Jenean Morrison ) fabric!
Now to pack! And hopefully schedule some new posts. See you after September 20, with stories from Paris.

Have a fabulous time. We are off to Iowa. Not nearly as fabulous.
I have four sisters and two sisters-in-law and I'm in the process of making each of them a bag for Christmas. And I have 5 nieces to make bags for. Have a great time in Paris and enjoy those bags; they are beautiful!
Sooo beautiful bags!
Wow, Geta, they are all gorgeous! It's unbelievable what you do with quilting! I can't stop admiring it. And my favorite bag? The black and white.. chic for Paris
Have a great time!
I love your bags, they are all beautiful !! :))
You do such beautiful quilting, love the purses/bags.
Wow, Geta, so lovely!
They are all beautiful!!! Are you sure I'm not your sister, too?
Oh, I love them all, such lovely patterns and amazing detail. Great work
You're a good sister, Geta. Have fun in Paris with your sisters and your hubby of course. I love your purses and of course your twice as nice pouches. Hubs and I have been vacationing in paradise; we're headed home tomorrow. Two weeks just doesn't seem long enough but I sure miss my feline quilt tester. I can't wait to snuggle with her.
Fabulous quilting!
Your bags are so beautiful. And your quilting is amazing. I love them all. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful visit in Paris
Bon voyage et amusez- vous bien!
I think ALL OF THEM are beautiful. You are a wonderful sister and I'm sure they know it. How marvelous to take a trip like that together. I was in Paris 12 years ago for a whirlwind 2-1/2 days and actually visited Le Rouvray quilt shop (my husband allowed me 15 minutes only). I have been waiting to see what you were going to do with those black and white hexies you shared a few weeks ago and now I see – simply divine! Have a fabulous time and let the music of your famous French singer give you joy and even new ideas for quilting.
Wonderful bags.
I love the Hexagonsbag and I like your quilting. It's so fantastic.
Have a nice time in Paris, Manuela
Wonderful bags, I love them all!! But the black and white is my favourite
excellent quilting!! Enjoy Paris and the conserts! Love from Liv Aagot, Norway ?
I love, love, love your bags! Your quilting is unbelievable.
Hi Geta,
I love them all, and I am usually a bright color girl, but in this case, the Sakura Park is my favorite. Your sisters are so lucky to have you for a sister, and you are so lucky to have so many helpers in quilting!

Have a wonderful time in Paris!!

The bags are all beautiful but I do like the 1 inch hexagons best. Waiting for patterns for these!
Your quilting is 'drop dead gorgeous'!!!!! Love the bags. Would you adopt me as an older sister? LOL
Please consider making the patterns. These bags look fabulous! Having been to Paris and Romania, I can say they are two of my favorite places. Thanks for sharing Geta, and keep it up!
Love them all . Clever girl
I love all the bags, they are just so lovely I wanna take one home, and the quilting is absolutely fantastic and make the bags so special
They are all equally beautiful, though I love what you do to black fabric with white quilting!
Oh, those are nice …… beautiful things around you, you are very, very handy
I looked at you very much :-))
