Allatoona Tote Bag Exchange

Today was the December meeting of the Allatoona Guild. One of the things we did was have a tote bag exchange. Here is the tote bag I made. I covered embroidery hoops with fabric for the handles. I put pockets inside, including one with a zipper. I then made a cell phone bag that is tied to the handle and can go inside the bag or hang on the outside. Lastly, I made a Tote Along bag that fits in one the pockets. I think the person who received it was pleased.

The fabric is from Amy Butler's latest line - I think it is called Daisy Chain. I used 5 different fabrics all together.

Here is the bag I received in the exchange. Jean made it and she did a great job. She also used Amy Butler fabrics - Midwest Modern. The pattern is one that several people made. Lots of different fabrics and looks but they were all great

Here is the back of the bag. It is a nice size bag and I feel very fortunate to have received it.


This last photo is of the bag that Mary received. While it is a purchased bag, instead of homemade, it is very nice and she was pleased with it.
We had lots of happy faces after the exchange.
By the way, I was voted in as President for 2009 and I am looking forward to a wonderful year.

  4. 2 guild meetings the same day? That's a lot of pressure to get the projects done for each by the same time! Do they both meet close to where you live?
    Hope next week is easier for you!
