Friday is once again upon me. My weeks fly by with all the hats I am currently wearing: quilt shop owner, art quilter, pattern publisher, teacher, pillow maker (my main income source). Additionally, I leave next week for Texas where I am the key speaker and teacher for a guild. It is my first national engagement and I am very excited and a bit apprehensive. Of course, I am no way completely prepared and working hard to get there. I did, however, take time out to make myself a new tote to take along (my old one was shredding :(
The pattern is a diaper bag in a Leisure Arts book that was adjusted somewhat to fit my travel needs. To my credit I began and completed it in one day. Something I'm generally not great at, especially when it's more garment sewing-like rather than quilting.
My goal was to showcase this floral fabric made into pockets that has been in my stash for some time.
Here is the interior with a few pockets. Lots of stripes and plaids for one tote. I love structured fabrics and don't get the chance to use them as often as I might like. It's nice to feel accomplished in my finishing of this tote and to look forward to a new item to take on my travels.
Happy Friday,
