Kathy Wilcox of Burnet, Texas has created this nice big tote bag! I'd call that Texas-size for sure. Here's what she had to say about it:
"Tomorrow I go to the Houston International Quilt Festival for 3 wonderful days of looking and shopping, so I made a big selvage tote bag to carry every day (20" wide x 18" long x 6" bottom). I stitched the selvages to muslin and then fused the muslin to fusible fleece to give the bag some body and then quilted it all. Lining is the black polka dot fabric like the straps. It should be a conversation starter in Houston."
Kathy, tell us how the show went. Was the tote big enough? ;)
This is Kathy's second project, she's finished her blue zinger top and is ready to quilt it! Stay tuned!
Kathy Wilcox lives in the hill country of Texas and this is the view from her sewing machine! The conditions are perfect this year for sunbonnets, the Texas state flower. Oh, I love it!
Wow, take a look at Kathy's new Blue Zinger! This is fantastic. And she did some stunning quilting too: feathers in the blue wedges and meandering on the selvages. She did this with her Bernina 440. Yayyy, Kathy! As my son would say, "Sweet!"
Kathy has made other selvage items too: a tote bag, pot holders, and tissue holders, but this takes the cake!
