Bags and Blocks

Sometimes I am called the 'bag lady' because of all the bags that I make.  I don't know what I am going to do with them all but I use them now and then.  I will have one for every season if not every month.

This is the Tahoe Bag.

I bought the pattern when I was in

Lake Tahoe for my sister's wedding

last November.

We were leaving the quilt shop

when I spotted it so I bought it in that shop and 

purchased the fabric in another shop there.

I made another Quilter's Carry All two thirds

the size that the pattern calls for.

I also made the front panel into a pocket.  I made

it just like the pattern but sewed it onto the main

bag instead of making it part of the bag.  The back of the bag

has the same panel but is not a pocket.

I am taking this bag on my next trip to

Europe in September.

It will make a good carry on bag for the 

plane.

Two more of my Irish Quilt Blocks finished.

I am up to date on them now just waiting for 

McCall's Quilting to post the last 5.  I am ready

when ever they get posted.

Joined at the Hip Block for July.
