Tote Bag Time!!!













This is the first time that I'm participating with an on-line sew-in group ... and sew far it's going well!

Started out with a checker board of nickel squares, then layered it with very, very, very thin batting ...










Then I selected blue/turquoise #100 silk for the quilting ...










And I did a quick and easy meander pattern across the entire piece.  Then I cut out two rectangular shapes for my bag.

  3. OH MY--you are a early bird--or we are different time zones!!! I am on the east coast--and I am a night owl--so it's nearly 11 o'clock here and I have not done a cut or stitch yet!!!
    I like your colors--can't wait to see it finished!
    Hugs, Di
    And Little sister--she is my sister and we are using the same computer--so comment together--she agrees with the above and says "Hi"--she does have her own site for her sew in and comments.
