A couple years ago I made a bunch of totes and purses to send to the gallery in southern IL. I used a lot of experimental pieces of patchwork as the outsides of the bags.I lined this one in red with tiny pin dots and made 2 pockets in the lining. The pile of sale fliers were inside on the first picture to make it stand up by itself. I never thought about them being in the second picture until I got to the computer. I guess no one is going to hire me as their photographer, LOL.
I LOVE this bag! great colors and wow it is just so FUN!!!!! a scrap bag to use everyday! Just happy to look at as well, great quilting to keep it nice and sturdy. great idea. thanks for sharing it! Kathie
Hi Wanda What a neat way to use up "leftover" piecing, and come out with a first class item. Woo hoo!
Maybe your subconscious is a marketing person, and it allowed you to take the photo with the ad to subliminally suggest "use your tote to bring stuff home". Vicky F
You do such beautiful work, and what a great idea to use your "testers" to make a bag! I like the pockets on the inside, and the bright color too. (I too don't like a dark lining in a bag.) This one's a winner!
I love it. And I agree about the lighter lining. I always try to use a light color for the lining so that whoever gets it can find stuff in it. I have a black leather briefcass (soft zips open at the top) and I constantly lost stuff in it back when I used it.

Very nice. You may have noticed that I am into bags at the moment. I like the closure on this one.

What a wonderful bag - so bright and cheerful. And I love the lining - I hate dark linings because I can never find anything. Blessings, marlene

ReplyDeleteNice bag!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is just lovely! No one would mind your photographic skills!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bag -- good reason to keep everything!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours, and the way the vertical quilting must help to hold the bag upright. Good idea.
