If you look closely I machine quilted the fabric and it took me several hours to do the front and back panels along with the pocket. It was fun to do and I was able to brush up on my much neglected machine quilting skills. I just didn't get much of my other sewing done. That's how I spent most of my day off on Monday. Just in case you were wondering what I did on Memorial day.
Click on the picture above and you can see the machine quilting I did. It's kinda sloppy but it looks pretty good. I tried not to care too much because I know I can be self critical when it comes to machine quilting but it's okay. Here's the first Market Bag I made for the teacher I work with.
Really cute bag, I'm sure the teacher will LOVE it.

I LOVE the machine quilting you did on this and the fabric choice is tremendous, too. Just a great bag.....really!!! I'd have felt really blessed if a parent did something like that for me when I was teaching.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice bag! I'll bet the teacher was glad it wasn't chocolate! I suspect she'll get a lot of it this time of year - LOL.
