    I started this before I got in to the Farmers Wife Sample" blocks, so I decided after the 19th block, I need to finish this. Used the Buffalo Bill Cody fabrics. The designer is "The Creative Thimble" - Laura Martell. Purchased this pattern while visiting my first granddaughter in Anchorage, AK in 2006 at a quilt store in Wasilla. Just took me a while to find that perfect fabric coordinates. and yes it's copyrighted for personal use only...But I will make a few more for my DD's and DDIL. Would make a perfect Diaper bag for that new granddaughter I'm expecting in Nov.
    Course I posted on FB, and now I have OBF's that want one........they are on my lonnnnnngggg list of "To Do".

    That is GORGEOUS!!!

    I made one too for my DGD -- towards the end I thought it got a little difficult. It turned out great though.

    I have been sewing since I was 7......I most times I look at the picture and don't read directions. I "had" to really read the directions well to understand the putting together part. They made since once "I got it". It was a little trying at times. But I love it. Going in our local quilt show in September.

    Very nice professional tote. You took the time and effort to get it just right for your needs.
