Help Find Stolen Quilts

I came across this post about stolen quilts. I am sadden for this lady that this happened. Those of you in Texas in the area where it happened can maybe keep your eyes peeled for this quilts. There are pictures of her missing quilts on her blog.

Here is the link:

Thank you, Linnea

Time for Whoop Whoop

 Time for Whoop Whoop again.

No finishes for me but I did make progress. 

I had hoped that this would be a February finish,

but I guess it will have to be a March finish.

Thank you to Sarah over at Confessions of A Fabric Addict 

for hosting this fun meme.

 Still working on my tote bag. There is a lot involved in this project.

The instructions did not say to add plastic canvas,

but I decided I wanted a firm base so I cut a piece to fit.

And hand sewed it in, so it would stay put. 

I started in the middle of each edge and worked out 

while sewing it and used quilting thread since it is heavier 

than regular thread.

Worked great!

 The outside of one side of the bag.

Don't have the lining in it yet at this point.

Those tabs are for buttoning the pocket closed.

 Here is the other side. I am loving this!

There is enough left of the strips to make this bag two more  times.

 I made covered buttons to match.

This project is included as part of the tote bag project.

A pouch out of vinyl and fabric to keep 

doodads in. 

I will use it for floss, scissors, needles and that kind of thing.

I am going to use my bag to carry cross stitch and other stitchery projects.

It will be a fun bag to carry around!

Hope to show it finished next week!
