I stopped at LQS to purchase a bow tucks pattern, they didn't have one so I ended up with the Charm Party Tote by Penny Sturges, and the Moda Summer Breeze charm pack. Boy did piecing the front and back go quickly. Now I just have to cut the lining, add to fusible pellon and voila' done. :thumbup: I will totally use another charm pack :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
