    Default Quilted tool tote for myself for Christmas

    In the midst of finishing three quilts for Christmas, I needed a diversion. I have never had good luck making purses and thought I might be headed for more frustration, but the desire to do something "different" for a break won out. I found this pattern at my LQS but you can find it at www.quiltsillustrated.com. I found it very well written with not only good illustrations, but labels for all the pieces including the fusible fleece and foam. Everything went together like a dream. I quilted mine in straight lines because I was in a hurry, but you could go wild with the quilting to make it fancier. I love it and the fact the wire stays keep it open for easy use.I am going to use it for toting my quilting supplies to retreat every month. The bottom is about 8" x 11" for reference. Hope everyone has a great holiday season and is able to spend time with your loved ones.

    There are pockets on both sides and on the ends too.

    Lots of room on the inside too. On their website they have a smaller and a larger version too.

    That's so cool. The wire is a neat idea...I never thought of doing that.
