Thank you for the encouragement. I chuckle when I look at the fabrics I chose. Carol is a brilliant business woman always in suits-even her weekend clothes are khakis and polos. Pat had a wonderful zeal for life and a great sense of humor-her favorite color was red so I think she helped with choosing the fabric. I'll just tell Carol I didn't have any houndstooth or Burberry fabric in my stash. She's a vegetarian and I've always had this fantasy of making her a tote-very conservative on the outside with the Lorelei(sp) veggie ladies on the inside.
