Fun Bag






I made this bag last weekend but ran out of thread before I finished top-stitching the straps. The grids take a lot of thread but was fun to do. I lined the bag with fabric I won from Sandy's Patchwork Angel. Isn't it awesome? The pattern is Grids & Grommets from Indygo Junction. This is one large bag and will hold a lot.

Mary it is beautiful. I have a pattern for one but it has ruffles at the top. It was designed by a Tampa quilt shop and I have been procrastinating to make it. Now that I see yours I just may make the move.

That's a great Bag Mary.. Those grommets and the top stitching make the bag. Of course the fabric you chose is perfect too.

LOVE it. I've been wanting to play with large grommets. Where did you find them? My JoAnns and my Hobby Lobby do not carry them.
