Your tote bag
Could you tell me what fabric line you used for your beautiful floral tote bag?

knew folks here would want to see some floral log cabin blocks. Borders are next. There are as many fall themed ones almost done.
A friend sent a pattern for easy bags, so I made a lunch bag to see what the whole bag thing was all about, and I'm delighted with it. So, next I experimented with using leftover blocks--trying to work measurements out with the bottom, and I wanted to try French seams. I make a fabric envelope for a heavy piece of plastic or cardboard for the bottom. I was happy with how all that came out.
So, now I have bag designs whirling in my head, BUT I need to finish a few more Talk-About Books first. I've made 22 of those so far...nine have sold. I'm building stock for a big craft show at the end of September.

What are "Talk-About Books"? And I love your floral log cabin blocks!
