My secret partner, Susy, is always a joy to visit with. She brings a smile to my face every time. Susy loves many things, but I concentrated on her love of bright colors, the sea and Malka Dubrawsky.
This is what I came up with. I arranged the fabric in stripes to let the design and colors do the talking. Then, I quilted the heck out of it.
Add a bold blue interior and a sassy flower and we're good to go.
On the flip side, I received two gorgeous bags from Pat.
My tote came with it's own carrying pouch. Dots? Stripes? Orange? Aqua?!? Yup, she did good. Real good! : D This was such a fun activity. I highly recommend you swap totes with your sewing friends.
Great bags by you and ones you received - a win - win for sure!

DeleteSome people got extra fancy with theirs. You can see all of the totes from the meeting on the guild's flickr page, http://www.flickr.com/groups/sbamqg/pool/
