Thought I'd post a link to my latest project. It's a crayon bag I made for my nephew. You first quilt the fabric then assemble the bag, so it was good practice for free motion quilting. I thought the sample at the LQS was just too cute so decided to give it a try. http://www.eskimo.com/~dms/Crayon_Bag.html The fabric is fireman because my BIL is a fireman and my nephew just loves anything having to do with that. I have all the stuff to do a second one for my other young nephew who is taking a train trip and I thought it would be nice for travel. -Tech |

Tech - That is such a wonderful idea. I remember having an crayon apron when I was little with pockets like that. I loved it. But the bag is so good for holding the books too. Thanks for sharing. Jay Jay

Really cute bag. I've some great nieces that just might like one of those. I'll add it to my list of possible gifts to make.

Very, very cute. Being partial to the ol' smoke eaters myself I think it's terrific. Lennie |

Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I haven't been on line in a week in an attempt to get other stuff done around the house. When I log on I seem to get stuck. I used a pattern that I bought at my LQS. Here is the info: It is done by Clotheslinequilts. They have a webpage (clothesline quilts.com), and have 3 different crayon bags/purses. If your lqs doesn't carry their patterns they have a link that sells them for $7.50 plus $1.50 shipping. It only took about 2-3 hours to make so it is definitely easy, plus it was a chance to practice my free motion quilting which isn't great. Hope this helps. - Tech |
