Patchwork winter bags and rusty garden colours

Winter isn't over yet, so I decided to  make some more bags from tapestry fabric, wool, cotton,embroidery. 
Friends really liked the rusty one I made in the Fall. I get inspired, lots of times, by the colours in my garden. The Lagerstroemia below, has beautiful pink flowers in summer, but in October the leaves start to change colour!

The picture was taken while it was raining. When the sun is shining the colours are even more vibrant!

I made a second bag in rust colours. Appliqued a beige flower on one side of the bag and sew a crocheted granny square on the other side. 

I didn't make the granny square. A very good friend of mine made it. The flower is cut out of tapestry fabric.

I love the colour combinations of the flowers below, the rust and the purplish blue. This picture was taken in spring!! But the colours remind me more of Autumn.

Last year I went with my friend Theodora to the flea market in Athens.

I bought a few pieces of embroidery. The one below was in a frame, which was, according to the vendor, a beautiful frame!!!! Well, the frame went in the recycle bin and I kept the lovely landscape. 

The pictures aren't very good, but, as I sold the bag, I can't make better ones!

A few day ago I finished a purple bag. One of these days I will post the pictures.

And, to stay in the colour scheme a picture of my Clematis "Alice Fisk"
