The pattern is called Bow Tuck bag. There is also a mini version if you prefer smaller. The pattern is available in many LQS or on line shops. I finally purchased one at a small LQS in AL last fall. It is quite simple to make. The longest part of the process is quilting the larger pieces.

Since I only get to work on these projects for an hour or so 3 or 4 days a week, it took me several days to finish. I guess maybe 5-6 hours total time. Not at all difficult. You cannot really see it in the picture, but I added piping to the top of the horse bag. I really like the effect of the piping. The bag I am currently working on is black and white with red piping, very striking.
