I am in Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) (a 7 year long Bible Study) and this year we are studying the life of Moses - I wanted to make a tote bag for the Bible and notebooks to take to my class each week and I found the Children of Israel block in a book I have - and I wanted to add an applique in the center of the block so I chose a single Rose of Sharon flower with 2 leaves as the center. In order to not make it too "Christmas-ie" I put yellow fabric (the leaf fabric) on the sides and the bottom of the tote which you really can't see in these pictures. It took me quite a few days to make it but here it is! :D
My DH says that it is my prettiest one yet (I've made 4 from this tote pattern, all but this one with 5" squares) and this is my first with making it a different size with a totally differnt pattern! He even said that he might want to help me construct the next one! :D 1 side of tote [ATTACH=CONFIG]19043[/ATTACH] close up of one of the Children of Israel blocks with applique [ATTACH=CONFIG]19072[/ATTACH] the other side of tote with side view [ATTACH=CONFIG]19073[/ATTACH] |

One more picture of the lining with pen and cell phone pockets!
AND, this was made from fabric in my scrap buckets and my yardage stash - so it was "free"! I think my next tote will use the crumb block pattern I pulled off this site when the thread was bumped up! That would look pretty neat and think of all the great funky fabric I could use up from my stash/scraps! lining with cell phone and pen pockets [ATTACH=CONFIG]19044[/ATTACH] |
WOW.. you did a GREAT JOB!.. I definately agree with your husband on this one!
|
Lovely job on that tote, neat idea to incorporate bible named blocks.
|
Very nice!! I don't think it looks too "Christmasie" at all.
|
That is beautiful, I really like that block and your craftsmanship is great :D
|
Thanks for your kind words! I love making these bags, and even though I have already made 4 of them, I have to look at the instructions over and over to make sure I'm not missing anything! :lol: :lol:
|
I LOVE that bag!! It's just perfect for your Bible. Congrats on a creative job!!
|
Very pretty and very nice job!
|
WOW!! Steph, that turned out beautifully!! Time to start selling them and make some money. :D
|
Ohhh it's absolutely beautiful!!! How perfect! I love the little pockets inside too, what a wonderful addition. It's sooo annoying when a cell phone falls to the bottom of a bag, now you'll never have to deal with that!!! Fantastic job all around!
|

Excellent job and even add a rose of sharon which was neat. Such biblical history behind this tote is rather neat.
Great job Beth. |
