    I really enjoyed making this bag – though I wish I’d had the errata first as I don’t like the boxyness of it due to the mistake in the book! Looking forward to next week’s project!ReplyCancel

  • Sheila

    Have just received my book today – what a great idea this QAL is – so often you buy a book and just make one thing from it.ReplyCancel

I shared this pattern with you a few days ago and I just couldn’t resist buying it myself. (and then I proceeded to ignore the important things on my to-do list so that I could sew it!) My little girl is 4 and she loves art. If there is a piece of paper to be […]

    This is adorable! And your daughter’s reaction is so sweet! I’ve seen this before and might have to give it a try. My worry is that I don’t know if I’d be able to get my kids to put the supplies back in so nicely. They’re more like “shove everything into a drawer and run!” kinds of kids. Dang.ReplyCancel

  • anna

    it’s so cute!!! I bought the pattern so long ago and still haven’t made it yet, someday! love all the fabrics you used. 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Pink Stitches

    So cute! I’ve been eyeing this pattern for awhile. I think this would be a perfect Easter basket for some of the older kids. Love your scrappy goodness!ReplyCancel

  • Cal

    Love it! Looks fantastic, wonderful choice of fabrics!ReplyCancel

  • Laurie

    Really cute! That hug makes it all worthwhile, doesn’t it?ReplyCancel

  • petracreativemom

    The tote is so cute! I agree it would be great a little bigger for a sewing retreat.ReplyCancel

    this is fantastic, Lindsay! Good thing you’re training her young to use it.ReplyCancel

    Fantastic pattern and great fabric selection!ReplyCancel

  • Basmati

    this is so pretty and happy looking! wonderful job 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Jennifer Mathis (@EllisonLane)

    Love that little tote and love her reaction. I know another little girl that would love that too. We are headed to the ATL over Easter weekend- don’t know if it will work out to get together- busy times I know but would love to see you and visit Whipstitch!ReplyCancel

  • darcychildress

    Ok, this is so fun I just had to go buy a copy and I’m making one for myself! Some day, when I have time to sew 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Amy DeCesare

    That turned out fabulous! I would love to make something like that for “office supplies”…seeing that I don’t have an office but really love all the little pens, pencils, etc. Thanks for an inspiring post and a great resource for the pattern!ReplyCancel

  • Sheila S

    What a sweet mom…and daughter! I know she’ll enjoy having her own little art supply bag! Love those scraps! Looks like I’ll need to make two. One for art supplies and one to carry my sewing supplies. I probably will need to make one a little larger for the sewing supplies, too.ReplyCancel

  • Daysy Lasso

    Hello,
    I am an artist myself and I just saw your bag and I love it! I guess you just make it for her, but I would like to know if you would make more and if you sell them and at what price.

    Thank you very much,

    Could you email me and put in “artist bag” so I know is you and doesn’t go into my junk mail?

    Honestly it is a fantastic bag to move around with the art stuff! 🙂ReplyCancel

  • Judy Sowers

    I’ve tried several times to download the pattern, to no avail. Where is the pattern located?ReplyCancel

  • Sue Clayton

    I love this bag, it’d be great for my daughter to keep her school artwork together. Is the pattern available to purchase?
    RegardsReplyCancel

    This is a great idea! I bought that book a little while ago but haven’t made anything from it yet. I can’t wait to see what everyone else does, and I’ll probably end up using this as inspiration to try out a few patterns from the book.ReplyCancel

    I would really truely love to take part, however, I think I’ll be biting off more than I can chew right now, …. 🙁

    I will still follow though if thats ok?

    Maybe even get the book and make up some blocks incorporating them into our super-quilt that may take a few millennia to make thanks to the gargantuan size of our bed! 😉

    • Sweta

      I love those! My teacher in cotsume construction called it the most useful tool you’ll every buy. I last used it for measuring how wide I should cut a strip of fabric for some bias tape I was making. I love finding little time-saving doo-dahs like that. Usually it’s sewing machine feet. I also recently found this thing for making bias tape that folds the strip of cloth for you. Works like a dream.Keep up the good blogging!FrancesReplyCancel

      • jf wilkinson

        ooo i love the sound of the bias doo dah… please forward me the shop name??? lolReplyCancel

  • Kathy

    What a GREAT idea! I’ve had this book for a while and have been making little zakka -style projects for awhile. Will love following along and making projects as I have time 🙂 Off to pick up additional supplies of linen – the way I’ve been using it lately, it would be more efficient to buy a roll!ReplyCancel

    Book in hand and looking forward to doing these projects together!

    Question: Where’s the best place to purchase linen?ReplyCancel

      Hi from Spain,Thank you, thank you, for this conversation. The eesnsce of improv. for me are your passage quilts and the people who made them.Now, it depends of the intention of the quilters what kind of improv. she makes. I understand Sujata comments are about this. My intention is similar to yours Sherry I hope no to seems pretentious or something like that but I prefer the procces always because the process is a way of knowing myself and to learn to be authetic, just me.I used to hide my quilts from other people because I felt so different from other spanish quilters doing pretty or masterfull quilts. Mines are just natural and simple and this is not much appreciate it seems to me.Neither seems the G. Bends quilters be appreciated for that but I do and very much, in fact I am inspired by their attitude at work. I don’t know now but they used to use whatever at hand and that’s so resourceful and inteligent to me.ReplyCancel

  • Arthyzari

    Ooh, I love it! Great way to flip a string quilt on its head, and eclelxent way to show off a favorite fabric.All that straight-line quilting can be SO tedious! I just did some on my son’s toddler-bed-sized quilt, and even though it only took a few days, it felt like forever. So worth it in the end, though.I agree with Sarah C’s suggestion set a small goal of what you want to accomplish each day and then maybe you won’t have to dwell on the entirety.ReplyCancel
