5 days to Christmas

The 6th  tote and my favorite. The batik fabrics make it special.


               That  zippered pocket again to hold your glasses or wallet.

 The roomy pocket for a magazine or book and a bottle of water.

I love the guinea hen  fabric.
 
 Notice the thread pull on the zipper. Laura Wasilowski of http://www.artfabrik.com/  makes the best hand dyes threads that I use in my art. This color is Burnt Marshmallow perfect for a pull. Check her out.
The finished works of art. The  pattern is the Winslow market tote featured in the magazine from International Quilt Festival " Quilt Scene " issue winter 2009-2010. I am sure Interweave  Press could find you a copy if you don't already have one. Have a very Merry Cristmas and a Joyous New Year.
