Totes, Purses and Overnight bags

In addition to quilts I have also been making some purses and totes.  And yes it's true they are not all Scarlet and Gray!!


Duffle Bag


This tote can carry many quilts and a Nermal

This Picnic Tote is from Tammy Tadd's pattern book A Tadd More http://www.tammytadddesigns.com/

I used a Moda Sent with Love charm pack by Deb Strain for this Trail Mix tote from http://www.thisandthatpatterns.com/
But I didn't like having to cut down the charms.

Then I found this pattern from http://www.marlousdesigns.com/
It's called The Cross Town Carry Maggie's Bag
I used a Scarlett and Gray charm pack and used some other fabrics from my stash for the braided handles and lining.  Once I started using up 6 inch squares and charm packs I couldn't stop!!

This Leap Frog purse matched Terri's quilt, so I gave it to her for her 50th Birthday

Spring

I have gotten a number of compliments on these purses!!
They make up very quickly and would make a great gift!!
