Oh, NO! Surely not. Each and every one you have shown is a jewel, on it's own, and I have so enjoyed looking and drooling over them all.

I understand you wanting to change gears a little after all of your beautiful totes. I sure have enjoyed looking & drooling over them. Every time I saw one I said oh this is my favorite next one... Oooh this is my favorite ! lol Someday when you get the urge to make totes again then I'll be waiting. Your totes have truly been an inspiration to so many of us. Thank you so much!

HAHAHAHAHA! I wondered when you would burn out! They are beautiful, useful and unique. They also require precision, imagination on a grand scale and lots of work! Thanks for sharing them all with us. You do beautiful work.

I can understand "burnout" when you make a large number of bags in the same pattern, even though they were done in different colorways, as I've done it myself the last couple of years, making bags for craft fairs. Your bags are exceptional, although I realize they can be time consuming; perhaps it's time to make another type of bag or work on a totally different project and shift gears.

This tote is so pretty! :)

Thank you ladies, your comments are so appreciated! I have several different bag projects I'm wanting to make; right now I'm making a sewing machine cover for my new Bernina that made all the tote bags :)

CJ I love em all ! Such a good job!

Another beautiful bag! Love the way you use color and combine fabric. Those buttons that pick up the green are perfect.
We aren't tired of them but I can understand why you may be a little weary of creating these gorgeous bags!

I have enjoyed looking at all them . They are beautiful.

Good that you were able to quench your "bag fix" and now can move on. Since you have a tutorial on your blog, maybe those of us who like the bags can make one for ourselves. I hope to do so. But just one ..... is that possible? Maybe not! Looking forward to seeing your machine cover soon as you will probably not be making just some simple cover but another one to match all the others. I have been eyeing that Bionic Bag pattern and really should buy it. Those bags look like they can make a sewer's/quilter's life so much more simple and organized especially when traveling away from home.

Your workmanship is just gorgeous!!

Every one you have posted has been a work of art. Great job on all of them. Each one is my favorite.

All your totes were stunning works of art.

BEAUTIFUL colors and quilting

They are all so beautiful, I have loved looking at them but I sure understand how you might want to do something else for awhile. I get that way when I do something over and over.

heather1949 08-12-2015 03:46 AM

What a gorgeous bag :)

craftymatt2 08-16-2015 05:53 PM

cjtinkle 08-17-2015 02:34 AM

Thanks again ladies. I'll make more totes/purses, just not more of this particular one, 11 was enough!
