Thanks everyone! I am searching though my stash for the other 7 bags. I am hoping to assembly line sew them up and have them ready to fill with goodies for the holidays. I ordered a spa set for one of them. I am thinking of filling another with foot care/soak things. Then there is one I plan on giving as a lunch bag type. With plastic lining and little plastic containers as the fillings.

That is as far as I have gotten. But, it really is the ideal size for gifting most anything.

Thank you all so much for cheering me on and all the lovely comments and suggestions. I appreciate you girls so much.

Did you see the front of the magazine I posted on the thread? (page 2) It shows what the magazine looked like. It was Better Homes and Gardens, Quilting Ideas, spring2001.

The bag is gorgeous and the possibilities are endless for any time of year, but a great Christmas gift bag.

Halo

Your bag is beautiful. I totally love it & would use it for a purse. The pockets would be perfect for your cell phone, keys, coupons etc. I think it would be a very usable bag.

This is close, just need to add outside pockets, which shouldn't be too hard.

Great looking bag. At my house it would be come a kitty hide out or nest. I would hate to use it for that exclusively but that is what came to mind.

Red, that gorgeous bag would be great in my sewing room! They will make lovely gifts no matter what's inside.
