my first quilted star. it took patience. and i am pleased with how it turned out. i can see more stars in my future. yes, i can.
my good friend. (hi ruut!) over in denmark. made me an awesome little bag after anika was born. it is big enough for a couple of diapers. some wipes. a sleeper. and a toy or two. and it fits into my purse perfectly. i love it. and decided i needed to make one too.
well. a good friend of mine is pregnant. so i dug out some of my favorite japanese fabrics. and that awesome pale yellow abstract fabric. (thanks, jen!) and sewed up a little bag for her. i copied the bag that was given to me. and i love how it turned out. i think this will be my standard gift for all pregnant friends.
oh leslie, i LOVE this tote!!
not just it's sweet and perfect size and the adorable "closure" but your patchwork just makes it.
you are so talented!!

This is beautiful!
I had completely forgotten that I gave you some of that Harwood Steiger fabric until I saw this :)
So glad it went to good use!
