Here’s my latest commissioned bag! It’s a mega messenger bag, customized to hold a 15″ laptop. She really liked both my black-eyed susan and fiddlehead fern motifs, so I put one one on the front, and the other on the side phone pocket! She also didn’t want a key leash or d-rings inside, but wanted…
Next up in my marathon of pre-Christmas making: a custom mega-messenger! This one is for a dancer/nursing student who has admired my work at several shows and finally decided she needed just the right bag for herself! She carries either a 15″ MacBook pro or an iPad, so I was able to devise a double…
This went in the mail last week. It’s a custom Gran n’ Go clutch made for a lucky lady. Her husband wrote me a couple of weeks ago and told me that she had been staring at the bags on my site for long enough – she had to have one of her own! What…
Well, I got 5 convertible clutches done last night (excuse the less than stellar photos, better to have some photos than none at all – yikes I probably jinxed myself and now none of these will sell): After teaching today I’ve got a bunch of scarves to iron, some tags to make, perhaps I’ll even…
Now that the TV version of the messenger bag is good to go, I’ve finally started on a full fledged pattern for my messenger bags. I’ve taken over 400 pictures while making this bag to use – I want this pattern to be chock full of useful pictures. Of course, I now have to sort through…
This messenger will be getting up close and personal with the camera at Quilting Arts TV in just under 2 weeks! Of course, there are plenty of step outs who will do most of the work…and this guy slides in for the sweet shot at the end! The people who live behind us (if they look out of their…
Do you remember this custom messenger bag I made? It was customized for Anita, who wanted the ultimate international travel bag. She recently returned and I received this picture from a friend who was on the same tour with Anita (strangely small world we live in sometimes…) It was taken at Jiuzhaigou, which made me google and…
This bag is for one of my meetup pals Angie, of Jumping Jack Designs. (She was featured on my “Maker’s Must” series a couple of months ago.) She wanted me to design her a messenger bag for her Macbook. I sent it off to her yesterday, and I’ll be meeting her in person at Sand…
This is officially the biggest bag I’ve ever made! An old friend of mine wanted me to make a bag for her daughter Allison to carry her flute in. Flutes cases are 17″ long, so I super sized a mega messenger so the flute would fit. I also customized the inside of the bag with…
Here’s a bag I’ve just finished for a gal who’s going to China later this week. It’s based on my standard messenger bag, but has lots of custom details to meet her needs for travelling: The patch on the front flat is actually a zippered pocket – for fast access to securely stored cash Under the flap…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
