my FNSI results

Here is what i made last night for FNSI. A purdy spring bag made from the Shoulder Tote pattern by Quilts Illustrated. i made a few different adjustments, but its always been one of my favorite "easy" bags to make. have you all tried the patterns from quilts illustrated? This bag was 16x16 before sewing. its a great daily bag to use for work etc.

A friend of mine had asked me awhile ago for a pinks and greens bag. After digging through my stash, the best fabs i could come up with were Woodland Bloom. See my quilt hanging next to it using the same line? I still love woodland bloom.

I had to get creative and move around the house to get a decent photo. Ive been on the go and forgot to take daytime photos!!! grrrrrr.

last night i locked myself in my MOM CAVE and sewed away. I drank iced tea, ate pretzels and cheese, listened to some nice mellow music.....it was a perfect night for FNSI.

These fabrics are so cheery.....

Because the outside was so busy, i made the inside very simple with linen and some fab pockets.

Remember to check HEIDIS blog tomorrow for the FNSI winner. im going to spend my night surfing at all of your projects. (oh how times have changed.....my saturday nights are so boring now--LOL)
I always get some cute ideas from you gals.

I've seen some cute quilted bags recently - here on your blog and all around my town - I think this would be a great idea for next month's FNSI! I'll have one month to pick out fabric and a pattern :-) Thanks for the great idea! Mary Ann at www.rocknquilts.blogspot.com

Love the bag! So cute. I kind of double booked my Friday night. I signed up with good intentions and then realized that a wedding I was helping with was the next day. I had a lot to do. But because of you and Hiedi's motivation, I did keep in mind to do something this week. So I crocheted 5 red dishcloths!!!!
