In the slow time between customers yesterday I continued working on this tote bag that I started a couple weeks ago when I was there. I plan on making the pintucked one too for them.
This is called the back of the tote
and this is the front. I used a lot of scraps left from the quilts I made for them last year and added in some leftover dotted fabric strips from my scrap bin.
I always made 2 crazy pieced blocks at the same time so I cut one of them in half for the large inside pockets. the 2 little side pockets are added onto the side and bottom band before sewing it together. I lined it with a fairly stiff blue denim so it would have the body to stand up for display.
It's another beautiful day. We have had the most amazing weather this past week, cool every night (50-60 degrees), and low humidity. Day time temps haven't exceeded high 70's to low 80's. I wish we could have this weather all year round.
