Tammy And Me...Bags, Of Course!

I chose some Moda fabric called Round Robin by Kathy Schmitz for
my bag. I loved the colors and prints so much I used it to make
a quilt, too! It's HERE on a previous post.




This is my little can. I cut a piece from a magnet sheet to fit the lid,
which holds my needles in place, and the can will hold several colors 
of thread depending on what I need for the project I'm working on.

  1. LOVE the fabrics!!!! Red and black...I'll take that one...or the Monkeys...I LOVE the monkeys. Oh, right, neither bag is the prize...my bad. Ok...I'll take the bear then. :)
    Seriously you did a fantastic job per usual (and like I told the 'other' one...so nice neither of you are the competitive types...lol).

    Classy, Elegant and filled with monkey business..

  29. I love the monkey bag. I might just have to make one of them. The bags I have seen on the hop are just amazing. I really am enjoying seeing all the inspiration. It is awesome how the different fabric choices makes them look like they are a different pattern. No two are alike.
