It's tradition, and I do my very best to make time to participate. Every year at our holiday party, the Seattle MQG has a handmade item swap - either a quilted item, or at least something a quilter would use. This year I made another On-the-Go Project bag from Svetlana Sotak's That Handmade Touch. I'm really enjoying mine - though I've been using it more for errands than an actual project. But still, I think it's a bag any crafty person could make good use of.
Fabric on this one was Triangles in Red from Kobayashi. It's a Linen Cotton Canvas, which I paired with Essex Linen in Natural, and lined with Freckles in Twinkle Metallic from Cotton + Steel Basics. The leather handles I got from Anna/noodlehead.
Sooooo. What did I bring home? A darling little Boxy Clear Pouch made by
@sadiesews. The pattern is by
Aneela Hoey, made especially cute by the fabrics Katie chose. Super fun all around!
The project bag you made is just gorgeous, Debbie! You invested a lot in materials and time to make that. I hope the recipient appreciates your beautiful work. As well, your pouch is great! Don't ya love the clear vinyl, so you can better keep track of what's on the inside? I really like that. Glad you had a good swap. I'm heading to our Central Florida MQG holiday party this evening. We do a Chinese swap with a wrapped, quilting-sewing-related item.
