Afternoon Project...

I didn't make this for anyone specific...

just wanted to make a quilted tote today.

With these reds.

From Cathy.

It is simply luscious!

More luscious than it looks in the photo...

the reds are absolutely gorgeous...

more red and richer than shown.

It measures 14.5 x 13 x 4.5 inches.

3 pockets across one side of the inside.

I might have to keep it.

Well, no...I won't be keeping it.

It'll go to work with me tomorrow

and if no one wants to buy it,

I'll put it into my etsy shop.

Kept me out of trouble for the afternoon.

No smoking (still!)
and no eating.

Yay!

a bit more will be coming.

this all from Cathy of Quilting On Turtle Hill!

remember her?

if you don't, check this out.

so.

Cathy was having a destash sale a week ago.

i, of course, wanted it all.
i, of course, did not get it all.
but, for what i received...
we wheeled and dealed.

she drives an awful hard bargain!

{grin}

actually, she made an offer 
that i absolutely could not refuse.
part of the offer was that she asked me to

put together a quilt top for her.

i am so excited!

and honored!

her payment to me for doing it?
some of the above fabric!
what could possibly be better than that??
i mean, really.

 i am so blessed!

thank you, Cathy!

with this added to my stash,

i have plenty to keep me busy in 2011.

wouldn't you say?

please shoot me if i mention

that i need to buy fabric!

other than specific fabric
to finish something, that is.
