WIP Wednesday - Quilted Tote

There's not a whole lot I can say about this bag, so I'll let the pictures speak for itself.

As I've mentioned on Sunday, when I started making this bag I used Stampin'Up fabric range Comfort Cafè that my sister brought over from the UK.  She's a Stampin'Up demonstrator and you can visit her blog HERE.  


I free motion quilted the front and back pockets using stippling, and the body of the bag straight line free motion quilting.



The little canvas piece was stamped using a "Stampin'Up" stamp.  It is not completely done yet, I still want to add a button or two for embellishment.






I've used my own pattern that you can download on my My Patterns page.  The only difference is that I quilted the bag panels and therefore the bag ended up a little bit smaller.

I am linking up to WIP Wednesdays @ Freshly Pieced.

Happy quilting.

  5. I love your bag! The colours and prints work together so well and the variety in quilting makes it really special - plus that stamp-label of course.

  6. Your bag is so pretty! I adore the stamped label that you added. I have tons of SU stamps, so I'm definitely going to try that on a project. What type of ink did you use? Thanks for sharing!

  8. This is so beautiful. All your work seems so crisp, and that fmq is amazing. I asked your sister whether you are a professional quilter, you really seem to have a talent for it, and after only one year!

    I am a jack of all trades quilter and can only aspire to your level of skill.
