Goodies And Totes

While we were at the Shad Fest in Lambertville NJ I picked up these goodies. Most of the white buttons are shell. The others are rhinestone. The fabric is a home dec remnant by Thomaspaul for Duralee. It was a good price so I just couldn't pass it up.

I haven't posted about this before but I make tote bags! My sister sells them for me. They're all original, one of a kind (I really don't like making the same bag twice) I make my own patterns. I enjoy making them mostly because they don't take as much time as a quilt, so it's instant gratification! I knew I would make a tote with this fabric when I purchased it.

So now a tote it is! I even put hand stitching on this one. Although you can't tell by the pictures.
Now I'm off to do some machine quilting. I need to get some more UFOs done.
