So ... I was perusing my newest issue of
Quilt Sampler Magazine when I noticed (I believe on page 27) in the bottom right hand corner that this particular quilt shop was showcasing the
Foldover Bag ... a fablulous pattern by my friend
Renee. I made a sample of this pattern and taught it at Grandma's Club last year.
I made mine with some fun kid-friendly fabric and even put a pocket inside that was shaped to hold a baby bottle. But, let's be honest ... I have only ever used it to hold ...
...
STUFF. As you know, I have a lot of
stuff. And I don't mind advertising it. I was quite thrilled to find these letter buttons
here and felt they were perfect to make my statement. The pattern is mucho easy and as a small hint I will say that instead of using a stiff interfacing, I used fusible fleece which worked like a dream.
In other ... less crafty ... news:
It was 110 here yesterday. Yes ... degrees. Yes ... in
May.Yes ... I have lived to tell the tale.

The sample in the magazine is very nice but makes me yawn. Though props to my highschool BFF's sister Renee for the pattern. Yours makes me smile, and I would pay twice as much for it as the beach bag made from old drapes look (though, I suppose, very Tommy Bahamaish) of the one in the magazine.
