Does the thought of working with zippers and bag closures bring you out in a cold sweat? Yep! You're not alone.  We created this DVD simply because so many of you requested it!  So here in my screen debut I explain and demonstrate how to work with various bag closures (including those fiendish zips) - in a friendly, clear and non-rushed way. You will learn how easy it is to install a professional-looking flush zipper pocket, a top edge zipper and a concealed top edge zipper as well as grommets and magnetic snaps.  We all know the difference is in the details and these closure techniques will help your bags and purses stand out from the crowd! Martha Walker of Wagon's West Designs offers some sweet touches when decorating for the holidays.  You'll want to make one of the six original quilts to brighten your home for the season.

And if you need something for a quick gift, there are ten projects from which to choose.  Journal covers, penny rugs, punch needle, cross stitch, ornaments - there's something for everyone between the covers of Be Merry!
