So, as you may remember, I'm going to be part of a group show and sale taking place in two weeks. I've been very busy getting ready for that, and realized today that I have a paltry five tote bags and six lunch bags to offer. I hope I'm going to be selling more than THAT.
So, earlier this evening, I whipped up a couple:
You may remember "Oscar" - this is a blue/green version. And the back:
That's a pocket on the back there - and the inside follows:
I LOVE that quilting! I may have to do a whole quilt like that some day. And then I made a chenille and velvet tote:
The inside is a solid golden mustard colour and it's quilted very simply - just the vertical runs up. The sides are the velvet and are quilted in diamonds:
I think I should have at least 20 tote bags and 20 lunch bags, even if I don't sell them all in addition to my quilts.
Stay tuned, as I become superwoman, if only temporarily, what with making quilts, tote bags, lunch bags, praticing for choir, spending time with my family, and, oh yes - working full time!

Hey Superwoman, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Your time-table sounds pretty ambitious - but I have the feeling you'll master it ;-))
ReplyDelete:) Thanks Frauke - I hope you're right! :)
ReplyDeleteIs that free-motion machine quilting in the green? It is lovely. I think a whole quilt in this overall pattern would be great too. Good luck with your sale.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, yes - it's free motion quilting. Wouldn't it be great on a BIG quilt? And I have the perfect fabric I just bought - a lovely, silky soft linen in beiges, creams and chocolate brown... delish!
