I am following along with Welsh Quilter and the very nice bag she is providing a tutorial for us bloggers. I have completed step one today. I have the handles yet to do.
I am using the left over bits of Chocolat fabric from my table centre. I think I could use that fabric for everything I make from now on! Love the fabric. The bag looks lovely and Andrea is providing such great instruction. I can see more bags in my future. The hint she provide for the handles and how to turn them the right way around is worth the "price of admission" alone -- gosh the things we learn from each other :))
Then I spent the rest of the afternoon machine quilting the Chocolat Charm Squares table centre. It is almost finished. We are getting new windows and three new sliding glass doors installed tomorrow so I am so excited that once the new doors are in I will have a new table centre!!! It will be beautiful on the table -- which of course will sit in front of a new sliding glass door. I work my first 12 hour shift tomorrow - and I should come home to the windows and doors all installed and finished. So - all and all - a very productive day :))
I had a look at the bag, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see yours.
I love bags but have not had the courage to make one. I take that back...I made a library bag for my daughter. Nothing like the one you are making though. I may have to give it a try. Love the fabrics and the table topper is beautiful. Take a pic with it on the table up against that new sliding door.
ReplyDeleteI love that line of fabric too! I love your table topper, the sashing just works soooo nicely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tote directions! I love making totes!
There's your beautiful Chocolat quilt - it's a true favorite of mine. I love it!!!! I'll have to go take a peek at the tote directions. I really need to make at least one tote - someday! teehee
ReplyDeleteHappy Day, Pam!
That table topper is turning out sweet! I love that line of fabric! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour table topper is coming along quite nicely - and I am sure the bag will be very nice too. I can see why you like the fabric so much.
ReplyDeleteI hope that coming home today will be as nice as you expect - with beautiful new windows and doors to view your beautiful table topper through.
I am sure the bag will be beautifull when finished. Also the quilt already looks great.
ReplyDeletePam -I'm so chuffed you're making the bag along with me ! First time I've gave a tutorial - nerve-wracking - lol! Your fabrics are gorgeous ! And the table topper is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI agree about that fabric - so beautiful! - you want to use up every single scrap.
ReplyDeleteLove your Chocolat quilt. Good luck tomorrow - 12 hours is a long shift.

ReplyDeleteThe Chocolat line is so yummy. Your bag is looking great, can't wait to see it finished. I really like how you did the sashing in your charm quilt.

ReplyDeletethis table center is wonderful! I love the colours so much!
Nice bag! I did the same one for my daughter using yellow and blue fabrics.
ciao ciao
Your quilt looks great, all rolled and ready to stitch. Are you using the Pfaff stitch that looks like a hand stitch on top? I thought that was kind of a nice feature of the Pfaff. Can't wait to see your little bag!
