5 out of 5 starsThis is my third order. Bought a notions/makeup bag in fabric that matches another tote bought previously, & another bag. Love the simplicity from the bags to the elegant present worthy wrapping, to the shipping by priority mail. Quality craftsmanship & protectively packaged. Just simple, flouncy but sturdy, & just the right size bags (not oversize or too small), that can be used as a handbag, tote bag, or or a project bag. I can’t use enough flowery words to praise Merrie’s work. Love her choice of fabrics. The sewing machine & I have never been able to communicate. Merrie makes hers sing. Bags are worth the cost.

5 out of 5 starsMy favorite gift shop! Merrie wraps even non-gifts so beautifully, ships super-quickly, and most important of all, the bags (I think I have purchased about seven) are made so we'll! Wonderful, fun fabrics and perfect stitching!

5 out of 5 starsSuch a cute "pouch" for note cards & pencils/pens. Merrie is always so gracious and prompt! This is not my 1st visit to her shop, not will it be my last. Great craftsmanship and just a wonderful experience every time.

5 out of 5 starsAfter seeing a large bag that I wanted, I asked for a smaller matching cosmetic case. The seller responded quickly that she had the extra fabric and I had both bags within a week. The fabrics are lovely and the workmanship is fabulous ! Thank you !

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second bag from this seller and it is lovely ! The pattern is adorable and the workmanship impeccable! I REALLY don’t need any more bags … but I could not resist! The seller is also very nice and quick to respond to questions. I asked about a small bag to go inside and she quickly accommodated. An all-around A++!

Handmade Quilts, Quilted Tote Bags, Quilted Wall Hangings and Travel Bags from Asheville NC
Every item in my shop is handmade by me. They are all one-of-a-kind items. One of the best things about this is that I get to design and create each item, selecting the perfect fabrics to create a beautiful and unique piece of art.
I learned to sew as a little girl, making my own clothes through college. I never realized until much later how special it was to wear custom-made clothing. Sewing was put on the back burner for years as life got a little too busy. Since relocating to the vibrant city of Asheville in Western North Carolina, I've rediscovered sewing and quilting (and shopping for beautiful fabrics). I love creating quilts that are simple, clean and modern.
Making a quilted piece is an investment of time and money ... starting with the design, selecting the (oh so beautiful) fabric, washing and caring for the fabric, cutting and piecing the quilt top, making the quilt sandwich with cotton batting, quilting the quilt and finally adding the binding. Each quilt takes a lot of time to become a quality piece of craftsmanship. But it's a fun and creative process that results in a one-of-a-kind piece that has been handmade especially for you.
I have two other Etsy shops. One where I offer my art and acrylic paintings - ArtbyMerrieD (www.etsy.com/shop/ArtbyMerrieD) and the 2nd shop where I sell crocheted hats, beanies, headbands and scarves - YarnHeadz (www.etsy.com/shop/YarnHeadz).

Shipping
Item(s) will be shipped to the buyer's Etsy address, unless otherwise specified, so please double-check to make sure the shipping address you provide is correct. I ship to USPS-confirmed addresses verified as a valid address and recognized by the US Post Office.
If you would prefer to have your order shipped to an alternate address, please advise at checkout (or separate convo). Items returned due to an incorrect address that you provide will incur additional charges to reship.
Items listed as "ready to ship" will usually be shipped within 1-3 business days after payment confirmation. US Priority Mail usually takes 2-3 days for arrival.
Once your order is accepted by USPS, we cannot be responsible for any loss or damage. If you'd like to protect against something happening to your package during shipping, please purchase insurance. We'll do what we can to resolve any issues but please know that if your package is lost or damaged, it would be difficult (and in most instances, impossible) for me as a seller to replace or repair the item. To protect against this possibility, we recommend purchasing insurance. (Note: Insurance is not available to international customers.)
Any extra fees (or customs fees) for international shipping are the responsibility of the customer.
