My blog is basically about my travels through sewing land making quilts and tote bags and purses. I am learning as I go and willing to help others. I love to sew and love fabric. I am a retired school teacher. I have a store on ebay http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Fabric-for-quilts-and-more and I am the owner of a yahoo group called sewingtotebagsandpurses

Basic Ttoe Bag Tutorial
http://users.zoominternet.net/~bbcarter/totebag.doc
I developed this tutorial a few years back to help people just starting out who did not know how to make a basic tote bag with inside pockets and interfacing and magnetic closure.

When I was in Texas at the International Quilt Market I went to Anna Maria Horner's class and she showed and talked about this pattern. It was made in her new fabric of velvet. Gorgeous.

getta grip clips 002
These are the greatest clips and work wonderfully=especially on a strap or around the top of a bag. I know they would work on anything. No more sticking yourself. I ordered these from California from the designer in his shop. Then when I went to Texas I met him. fabuous guy.
Lovey lynn in Florida's new bag I made
I bought this pattern from Etsy in PDF form and it is called Darla. I decided to use it to make Lovey Lynn's bag so it wouldn't be exactly like Lovey Mimi's bag. It turned out cute too.
lovey's christmas
This is the make up bag I made to go with Lovey's bag. She loved it so much and held it up for the picture. We were at her house enjoying a pre christmas celebration and delivious dinner.
She and husband Kent really know how to entertain.
she loved this make up bag as it is big enough to hold all her stuff.

lovey's christmas
Here is the last purse I made right before Christmas for cousin Lovey-Mimi- which she loved. I used some fabric I had saved for a long time. It is Moda Chocolate patchwork and flowered inside and out. I love this fabric by # Sisters.
Lovey loved it so much she wanted her sister Lovey Lynn to have one too....so recently I made one for her too. She lives in Florida and I still haven't sent it.
