REDnesday/Alphabe-Thursday

I am doing a double post today.

REDnesday and Alphabe-Thursday!

My current project is from this book!

And this is the project I am working on!

A cool totebag!

My choices in fabrics have lots of RED.

I got them at our local quilt shop. 

Such a fun place to go.

The owner was interested in what I was planning to make.

I told her I needed a jelly roll type thing and she directed me to the different areas

where they are displayed.

I found this one and nearby were the coordinating fabrics.

I thought it was cool when she came by and asked if I was 

finding any "inspiration" yet. 

And inspiration I did find!

Here I am starting to put together the front of the bag.

And the ends.

It is suggested to use a different decorative stitch 

over each seam. What fun that is!

I turned one section over so you can see better the decorative stitches.

I hope to not need to repeat a single one.

Here you can see which fabric I chose for the binding.

Pretty cool huh?

The REDs in the fabrics is for REDnesday with

Sue over at It's A Very Cherry World!

So how the heck does "H" fit in here with Alphbe-Thursday?

Besides trying to use a bunch of "H" words,

the name of this line of fabric, that 's what!

It is called HaPPy by Jennifer Heynen for 

In The Beginning fabrics.

Hey! Her last name even starts with "H".

And I am HAPPY while sewing on this fun fabric.
