Pear Shaped Coin Purse with Ball Clasp Frame

Here is one project I've been working on:

 I made these three coin purses using this tutorial from Craft Passion.

There is quite a lot of hand stitching on this purses. I'm happy with how they turned out and they will be fun to gift.

I was voting for Christmas quilts over at Quilt Gallery and saw your great BOM (it turned out so great), so I moseyed over here to see what was happening on your blog.

These are so great! I bookmarked the project. Haven't tried metal frames yet.
