A Tote for Janie

I wanted to share this tote that I made for my very good friend Janie.  Ever since she saw the bags that Paula made she has wanted a "Tilda Bag".   So I decided to experiment to see if I  could make a "Tilda Bag" (Tote) and it seemed to work.  Once I had the image on the right kind of fabric I was off and running with the idea.   The tote or bag is one I've made quite a few times but decided to make the front pocket different by using the Tilda image instead. 

I told Janie I had something for her but she didn't know what it was.  I work part-time at our local quilt

shop so when I knew Janie would be in town I had her stop by the shop and surprised her with the tote.   Some her favorite colors are pinks and greens so as you can see I used them in the bag as well as on the Tilda image.   She is planning a trip to New Mexico to see her granddaughter and meet her great grandson when he makes his appearance in this world.  I believe she plans on using the tote on her trip.                                                                                                                                                        

Guess now I need to think about making myself one.   Paula also made some darling zipper pulls using Shrinky Dink so I guess the next thing is to give that a try but I'm not sure how that might turn out.     



Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to look at my new blog. May you have a blessed day and stop by again.
