Today I finished my tote bag from last week's class. I am sad because I found out that the quilt shop where I take my tote bag classes is closing mid May. So, last week was the last tote bag class there.
The picture of the darling purple bag is my "Spa Bag" from our last tote bag class. The pattern is from the Bags, Pillows and Pincushions publication from Better Homes and Gardens. There are several things from this book that I would like to make. There is a darling three tiered pincushion that I like, and several other bags. There is a lovely appliqued iris pillow that I would like to make, also. I saw this publication advertised on a Better Homes and Gardens website. I was going to order it through them, but I decided I wanted to actually look at it before I bought it. I am so glad I was able to get a copy at the quilt shop.
Actually, while looking through the publication again today, I have decided that I would like to make almost every project in there. I could keep very busy with all those projects, not to mention all my UFOs that I would like to finish...eventually! Ahhh.....sew many quilts (and projects) and sew little time!
Tomorrow I am off to meet a blogging friend at the Amador Valley Quilt Show in Pleasanton. I am so excited to meet her! I hope the weather is good. It rained a little on Friday. Today the wind is blowing a lot. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny and clear. Our weather lately has been crazy. A week ago Friday it was 52 degrees in our little city, and that following Monday it was 93 degrees. From cold to hot in four days. The temps are cooler today with a cold wind chill factor.
I wish for you all a great weekend. Stay well and happy.
Happy Quilting - Pam

Very cute bag Pam. Isn't it fun to find a book or whatever that has LOTS of good projects? So sorry about your quilt shop is closing, sad to say it's the sign of the times. There are so many quilters that are working out of their stashes.
Have fun at the show with you blogger buddy.

Oh that is just darling!!!! The colors are like a spa all by themselves. Have fun at the quilt show!!!
I bought that magazine just for the pincushions....now if I can just find it!
What a wonderful, extremely purple photo...Love it! Great little bag. I have that mag too, and I want to do many of those projects too!
OMG, which shop is closing?? I hate hearing those words. So far, the ones here are OK...Knock on wood. I've been doing my part to stimulate the economy, which isn't so good for MY economy! *grin*
What a wonderful bag Pam....I bet you can find a dozen uses for it! blessings, marlene
What a sweet little bag - I love your fabric choices.
What a cute little bag--looks like something you'd find in a boutique!
That spa bag is very cute. I think that is the bag our state guild wants us to make for the spring meeting....thanks for the tip on the magazine!
