Cyndi's Tote...

I finished another commissioned tote.

This one is for Cyndi.

I met her on Wool Snippets,

a rug-hooking forum that we

belonged to for several years.

(still do, I guess.)

While I had my rug-hooking business, 

I think that Cyndi bought almost

every single pattern I sold.

She even commissioned a custom pattern,

showing the two new pups she got

after her beloved Jagger died.

She was definitely my best customer

in my rug-hooking business!

Here is the other side...

Here is the inside with pockets...

 Made with Iced Mocha, of course.

Except for the lining,

which is my all-time fave neutral.

I used it on Kashmir, shown here & here.

I don't use a pattern for these totes.

I take my fabric and do with it

whatever comes and it all works out.
On the last two, I have sewn
binding around the top of the tote.
You know, binding like I use on my quilts.
I think it gives the tote a more finished look.
Don't you?

This tote measures ~11.5 x 12.5 x 3.5 inches.

A nice size to take with you

full of whatever you wish.

I think she'll like it.

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!
