I'm a bag lady ..

Today's work - and a finish! New bag for the summer! It's big and roomy, wide straps that don't dig in your shoulder and a zipper pocket.

The pattern is from a local quilt shop. The squares are made from a charm pack I won in a giveaway - Moda, Glace (?). I loved the colours and patterns wanted to make something I could look at often. A few of the squares were more Christmassy, so I've saved them for something else.
The lining is something I found in town the other day - I passed a Bernina shop and they had some fabrics on sale ... well, I had wondered what Iwas going to use for the lining so I couldn't resist the urge to have a peek. And I found just the right thing.
I did make some mistakes - but all in all I'm pleased with it.


I hope you enjoyed your weekend, too.
